Lawrence Of Arabia (1962)

An original 1962 Columbia Pictures Black and White Publicity Still #LA(297-2)P41, unframed.

Peter O'Toole as T.E. Lawrence, resting in the sand against his camel, headcloth pulled close against the desert sun.

Lawrence of Arabia made O'Toole a star almost overnight: a little-known stage actor cast by David Lean after bigger names turned the part down, then spending months in the Jordanian desert learning to ride and live like the Bedouin. The film won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and Steven Spielberg has called it the film that made him want to be a filmmaker. Stills like this went out to newspapers and magazines on the film's first release, and the originals are sought after by Lean collectors everywhere.
