Film | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) with Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif


Due to his knowledge of the native Bedouin tribes, British Lieutenant T.E. Lawrence is sent to Arabia more to find Prince Faisal and serve as a liaison between the Arabs and the British in their fight against the Turks. With the aid of native Sherif Ali, Lawrence rebels against the orders of his superior officer and strikes out on a daring camel journey across the harsh desert to attack a well-guarded Turkish port. Director: David Lean Cast: Peter O'Toole, Claude Rains, Omar Sharif Peter O'Toole made his film debut in 1959. He achieved international recognition playing T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia (1962) for which he received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He was nominated for this award another seven times - for Becket (1964), The Lion in Winter (1968), Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), The Ruling Class (1972), The Stunt Man (1980), My Favorite Year (1982), and Venus (2006) - and holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for acting without a win (tied with Glenn Close). In 2002, he was awarded the Academy Honorary Award for his career achievements. Omar Sharif was an Egyptian actor, generally regarded as one of his country's greatest male film stars.
