A must-see historical epic

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2004)

As someone who only recently became interested in film, I've been making an effort to see as many "classics" as possible, from older films to recent projects. Taken as a lengthy historical epic, this movie does not disappoint! It is a great "slice of life" from the Arabian front during WWI. From the cinematography to the soundtrack, I was very impressed at the quality of this movie, especially given that it was released in 1962. A definite must-see for those interested in film who have not yet seen it.
And of course, Star Wars fans will get a kick out of seeing "Obi-Wan" in a very different role...
