What a bold, mad act of genius it was, to make Lawrence of Arabia, or even think that it could be made.

It's perhaps only because it can't be seen in its full glory on television that Lawrence isn't ranked more highly on some recent all-time best film lists. But it belongs near the very top. It's an astonishing, unrepeatable epic.
