LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
Summer at AFI Silver means LAWRENCE OF ARABIA on the big screen in all its 70mm glory. In a star-making turn by then-newcomer Peter O'Toole - who gives one of the screen's most enigmatic character studies - British Colonel T.E. Lawrence leads the Arab revolt in World War I's Middle East. Featuring spectacular action and cinematography by three-time Oscar winner Freddie Young that demands large-scale viewing, and memorable support by Anthony Quinn, Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif in his English-language debut. Seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Photography and Score. "One of the peaks of narrative cinema-storytelling raised to its highest form." - Stephen Farber.
