Lawrence changes personality a little too radically

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 1999)

I enjoyed this movie but not as much as others. I think the first problem with it is that Lean spent too much time showing us Lawrence's character. What I mean is that instead of showing only the non-violent side of Lawrence he also shows us his nice and polite English man side which didn't have such a major role in the picture. Personally, I thought Anthony Quinn and Jack Hawkins were really the ones who controlled the movie and gave that nice smooth flow. The fighting scenes in the desert are excellent and so is the acting, directing, filming, and story.
I have to say that this is an excellent movie and the reason I it enjoyed a little less than others is probably all a matter of taste. However, I have to recommend this movie-classic to any movie lover.
