Second Unit Cinematographer
What's left behind the scenes
- This was Omar Sharif's first film not shot in Egypt, where he was a film star.
- None of the women appearing in the film have any lines.
- The role of Sheriff Ali was first offered to Alain Delon before Omar Sharif, but he refused to wear brown contact lenses that would have hidden his blue eyes.
- The director's cut of the film has a runtime of 228 minutes.
- Almost all movement in the film happens from left to right. Director David Lean used this technique to emphasize that 'Lawrence of Arabia' is a travel film.
- Peter O'Toole admitted that he watched 'Lawrence of Arabia' in its entirety for the first time only twenty years after its official release and was very impressed.
- Peter O'Toole nearly died during the filming of a scene in Akaba. A gun, which was supposed to signal the start of the scene, fired prematurely, causing Peter O'Toole’s camel to panic and throw the actor to the ground. Meanwhile, the horses with extras galloped forward, trampling everything in their path. Everything could have ended tragically for the lead actor if his camel hadn't stood over him and protected him from the horses' hooves.
- Initially, director David Lean wanted Albert Finney to play the lead role, but Katharine Hepburn insisted that producer Sam Spiegel consider Peter O'Toole.
- Since filming the night scenes of the film was impossible in complete darkness, they were shot during the day using special filters placed over the lenses. For this reason, the camels in the night scenes cast shadows.
- When creating one of the key characters in his film "Prometheus" – the robot David, Ridley Scott was inspired by T.E. Lawrence, the hero of David Lean’s classic film. As a result, shots from "Lawrence of Arabia" appear in "Prometheus", and the robot David (Michael Fassbender) dyes his hair while looking at Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia.
- David Lean did not consider Freddie Young as a cinematographer. This was because during their first meeting, on the set of "Brief Encounter" (1945), Young, in response to Lean’s suggestion to change the shooting angle, replied that “hens don’t teach chickens.” Sam Spiegel insisted on Young’s candidacy. However, the first thing Young said to Lean on the set of "Lawrence" was precisely “hens don’t teach chickens!”
