“This movie was banned in many Arab countries as they felt Arab historical figures and the Arab peoples were misrepresented. Omar Sharif arranged a viewing with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt to show him that there was nothing wrong with the way they were portrayed. Nasser loved the movie and allowed it to be released in Egypt, where it went on to become a monster hit.”

“This movie missed out on an eleventh Oscar nomination, for Best Costume Design, because someone forgot to submit Phyllis Dalton's name for consideration.”

That scene of Sherif Ali riding towards Lawrence and his guide was apparently the first time a mirage was caught on film. Panavision had to develop a special 450mm lens for that one shot alone, and that lens hasn't been used since.

Finally someone is watching this masterpiece! It's obvious to say, but they don't make them like this anymore. The sheer scale of the movie is beyond us thanks to CGI. I'm glad we're still able to experience these old epic movies.

“Peter O'Toole had only one son , and he christened him "Lorcan". "Lorcan" is the Gaelic, or Irish, for Lawrence.”

Intermission. My sister and I get ice cream, our parents grab a smoke in the lobby. Those were the days.

“If he (Peter O’Toole) had been any prettier, it would have been Florence of Arabia.” Noel Coward.

Mia, I love the fact that you enjoy watching older, classic films as opposed to the latest blockbusters. There’s a great big wonderful world of film out there!

“Peter O'Toole claimed that he never viewed the completed movie until nearly two decades after its original release, by which time he was highly impressed.”

Very beginning of film showing Lawrence in the room: Mia goes gaga over the cinematography. Me: Can’t wait till she sees the desert! No CGI, can you imagine? Those sweeping scenes with men on horseback.

Dear Mia: I'm so glad you saw this wonderful film. Only David lean could have created such a masterpiece. I saw it as a young boy when it first came out. It changed my life or at least my perception of what great filmmaking should be. A few years ago I gave my DVD of it to a young woman living here in Boston from Martinique. She was very interested in film and acting. She was quite young and had never heard of Lawrence or David Lean or Peter O'Toole for that matter. As you know this film is quite long. When she gave the disc back to me a week later I asked her what she thought of it. She said when the film ended she reloaded the DVD and watched it again. Best movie review ever!

“Sir David Lean originally wanted Albert Finney for the title role. Katharine Hepburn urged producer Sam Spiegel to cast Peter O'Toole instead.”

“During the desert location shoot, after each rehearsal and take, 300 Bedouins wearing sandals muffled in wool were charged with smoothing out the desert sands with palm fronds so that no extraneous footprints would be visible in the sand.”

“Peter O'Toole's performance as T.E. Lawrence is the #1 ranked performance of all time in "Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time."

“This is Steven Spielberg's all-time favorite movie.”

You have to take a moment to absorb the irony that something as mundane as a motorbike accident ultimately took down Lawrence and none of this or what you'll be seeing in the second half did. I don't think anybody could say whether he did it intentionally after all he's been through, but I could believe it. But so far, marvelous reaction. The scope of the film is just breathtaking, and I actually did see it on the big screen my first time with it so I can assure you, it'll be worth the wait whenever you get the chance. I think it may be the best theater experience I've ever had.

While I was in Hollywood for a week back in '89, I saw a 70mm print screening of Lawrence of Arabia at the Egyptian Theater, it was incredible.

Very insightful reaction. I think the film's enduring message is that Lawrence defied the conventional wisdom of two cultures and was ultimately punished by both because of it. This is encapsulated at 28:31 when he has to kill Gasim, the man he once saved. There are aftershocks of this seismic event all the way through the film. He's too western to be truly Arab and happy with it and later he's too Arab to be accepted back by the British, i.e. to be accepted for what he actually is now and not what they want him to be. Oh and the Nefud desert gets up to about 129 degrees Fahrenheit, or 54 degrees Celsius. When I go back to this film now, I only have to think about the start and the end and I start to tear up. It's amazing.

All that space in the desert scenes is even more impressive when you see the movie on the big screen. If you ever have the chance to see Lawrence of Arabia in a theater, do it! You've now see two of the best character introductions in film. First it was Harry Lime in The Third Man, and now it's Sherif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia. That scene where Sherif first appears as a speck in the distance is gripping. I don't know of another like it. Anthony Quinn, who played Auda Abu Tayi, was often used to portray ethnic characters. His background was Irish and Mexican, but over the years he played Arab, Greek, Native American, Chinese, Hawaiian, and Eskimo characters. Lawrence of Arabia takes a similar approach to editing that it does with cinematography. There's lots of space; nothing is crammed together. The movie is long, but the time is important. In the sequence where Lawrence goes back to rescue Gasim, all that time makes you feel that he's been through an ordeal. It's so much more effective than it would have been if they'd shortened the sequence to show only the "essential" parts. If you want to see Peter O'Toole in another role, I'd suggest watching The Lion in Winter. It's a great film with Katharine Hepburn, Timothy Dalton, and Anthony Hopkins (in his third movie role). The dialogue is some of the best ever written. The movie was nominated for seven Oscars and won three (lead actress, adapted screenplay, and score).

You’ve obviously seen the second half by now, but it’s interesting how you and many people find Lawrence to be quite lovable at first. Good prediction on the shift in character! You noted how Lawrence going back shows that he was caring, but it could also signify that he wants to defy fate, to prove himself to others, and even play god. (Since we see later he volunteers to commit murder. It’s practical, but he’s also delivering life in one case and death in the other.) Even at the beginning he is unconventional (not a bad thing, of course) and enjoys the party trick of burning himself but showing no response. He clearly wants something more. About to watch the reaction to the second half!

It's hard to believe that Peter O'Toole didn't win the Oscar for Best Actor that year...until you realize it went to Gregory Peck for "To Kill A Mockingbird". (Wow, talk about two all-time great performances!)

“Anthony Perkins was considered for the lead role. But when he scored a hit with Sir Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), producer Sam Spiegel and director Sir David Lean dropped the idea for fear their film would be labelled "Psycho of Arabia."

Yay. One of my favorites. So nice to watch someone discover all of these great older films and appreciate them too. Keep up the reviews Mia!

Mia, this is my first visit to your channel. I'm old and actually saw Lawrence of Arabia for the first time in rerelease in a theatre. It was AMAZING.

The score to me is welcoming, but is also foreboding and has a mysteriousness to it like you are stumbling upon an undiscovered ancient history in the desert.

I saw this in a theater in 1963 . I still think it is one of the best films I have ever seen

This movie was stunning on the big screen. Peter O'Toole's eyes were so beautiful. Another David Lean movie that should not be missed is Dr Zhivago. You'll never forget the love story. Keep an eye on Fathom Events. They show the good stuff in theaters occasionally.

Got the chance to see this one in a theater a few years back; damn, was it worth it. David Lean went through some very distinct periods in his career: first the smaller-scale collaborations with Noel Coward, then the Dickens adaptations, then a mishmash of period & contemporary stuff, then finally the big epics. He handled all of those types of movies really well, but I'd put this one as his best. Steven Spielberg has also called this his all-time favorite movie. If I may recommend another director who was a contemporary of Lean's, Michael Powell doesn't get nearly enough recognition today but his movies can feel quite modern, with stuff like Peeping Tom, Colonel Blimp, The Red Shoes & Black Narcissus all being worth a watch.

The scene where Lawrence blows out the match and then it cuts to the sunrise is one of the best edited scenes I've ever seen. Awesome!

One more thing Mia...the score was done by Maurice Jarre. I have a strange feeling that you are going to become very familiar with his work.

I had the opportunity to see this in a theater, and it was incredible.

Mia, you do this so well. You have very quickly become one of my 3 favorite movie reactors (of about 20 I subscribe to). I always look forward to watching your videos as soon as they're posted, except for those rare occasions when it's a film I haven't seen yet, then I have to watch the movie before I can watch your reaction to it. So thanks for prompting me to watch some more great movies. I finally saw this masterpiece on the big screen in the '70s at a local art house theater. Wow!

I love the way you approach reactions. Research adds so much to your understanding of any art. I’ve sent your vids to my brother because he’s also in the reaction video rabbit hole, and he’s looking for more black women reactors. This is a story about T.E.L.’s relationship with control. Like he starts off as a person who believes in the supremacy of his own will power and that belief goes through some things 🤣😫🤣 Edited to add: that connect to The Last Samurai isn’t one that I made, but is so spot on. Also your appreciation of the craft is rare to see in reaction videos. It’s almost on the level as long format essayists.

I "love" that Mia is surprised by this film and reacts so spontanousley for every scene she gets surprised. 👍👍

“The famous cut from T.E. Lawrence blowing out a match to the desert sunrise was originally just going to be a dissolve. But editor Anne V. Coates suggested to Sir David Lean that he use the cut in the fashion of the then current French New Wave.”

“The role of Sherif Ali was originally intended for Horst Buchholz, but he was forced to turn it down owing to his commitment to Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three (1961). Second choice, Alain Delon, screen tested successfully, but he suffered problems with the brown contact lenses required for the role. Maurice Ronet was then cast, but he was replaced after difficulties with his French accent and his Arabian dress: Sir David Lean complained, "He looked like me walking around in drag."

Let's all help other folks discover this amazing channel by sharing the video's.

i love how you´re doing your homework in explaining the story around the movie, great job! Quality always pay off, keep being great!

My favorite movie. Every frame is a beautiful picture.

“Sir Alec Guinness had a life-long interest in T.E. Lawrence, and had played him on stage in a production of Terence Rattigan's play "Ross". Guinness wanted very much to play Lawrence, but director Sir David Lean and producer Sam Spiegel both told him he was too old. Sir Laurence Olivier was the original choice for Prince Feisal, and Guinness was shifted to that role when Olivier turned it down.”

This movie is one of that time that absolutely MUST be seen on the big screen in a theatre.

"Lawrence of Arabia" is an incredible movie. Definitely see "To Kill a Mockingbird" though -- for me, it's hard to say whether Peter O'Toole or Gregory Peck deserved the Oscar more. I think O'Toole changed more drastically for the role and plumbed more internal depths, but Peck gave us a powerful icon we can be inspired and encouraged by.

When I was 16, a theater near me showed it in 70MM for a week. I watched it 4 times in 7 days, and the experience firmly established me as a lifelong film nerd. I'd strongly recommend seeing it on the big screen, as many times and as often as you can. I hope you can make it! Love watching you experience these in your own private film school :)

“At one point, when filming was progressing far too slowly for his liking, producer Sam Spiegel invited William Wyler to visit the set. He wanted Wyler to encourage Sir David Lean to rely more on his second units for filming additional scenes, as he had done on Ben-Hur (1959). The visit was to no avail, however, as Lean was too much of a perfectionist to relinquish control.”

I watch reactions. Most of them are amateur hour. You my friend are a natural-born movie critic. You are so full of peripheral knowledge that it's all you can do to let the movie play, but you do a great job. Your energy dominates your videos, and that took me a minute to adjust. But in the end, what you deliver, is exactly what I want from someone I watch movies with.

The epic of all epics Lawrence of Arabia cements director David lean's status in the filmmaking pantheon with nearly four hours of grand scope brilliant performances and beautiful cinematography LAWRENCE OF ARABIA 1962 94/100 certified approved ☑️ You're the most extraordinary man I've ever met.

Yay! My favourite film! Your reaction is wonderful. I can’t wait for Part 2.

Greatest movie ever made. Saw it a couple times in the theater. Mind blowing stuff.

The co-author of the screenplay was Robert Bolt. Robert Bolt also wrote the screenplay of absolutely must-see "A Man for All Seasons" (1966 -- 6 Oscars).

I once saw this movie in a theater on 70mm film, It was GREAT (I had seen it many times before that in other formats)

This and Zulu with Michael Caine are two of my favorite classic movies

5:51 Somebody once told me "Someone who mispronounces an uncommon word probably doesn't know how it's pronounced because they read it in a book instead of hearing it on TV or in a movie, so don't look down on them." An old movie I'd like to recommend is 1935's "The Scarlet Pimpernel" starring Leslie Howard. When I first watched it, I was expecting lots of exciting swordplay lie an Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks movie, but there was none of that. Although there was no sword fighting, I was delighted by the verbal fencing between Leslie Howard as Sir Percy and Raymond Massey as Chauvelin. The dialogue was sharp and witty, and the acting was brilliant. I also admired the use theater-like trickery to overcome the effects limitations like creating the impression that two characters are having a conversation while overlooking a grand ball without having to actually build a grand ballroom. I think you'd enjoy it.

“When film conservationists Robert A. Harris and Jim Painten got permission from Columbia Pictures to restore Sir David Lean's movie, four tons of extraneous footage was delivered to their door. It took them nearly a year to get through all the material. The moment when T.E. Lawrence, freshly adorned in his new flowing white robes, raises his dagger to look at his reflection was an improvisation by Peter O'Toole. The moment was repeated at the end of the movie in a completely different context when a battered Lawrence looks at his bloodied dagger after the battle for Damascus.”

There's a shift in his character as he's been introduced into violence and how he struggles to deal with it. Dont forget he was a humble map drawer with no army training of any kind.

Great video from Mia about the movie Lawrence of Arabia 1962. Masterpiece of the great director David Lean. It's a seven - time Oscar-winning war drama with an impressive cast of great movie stars and an unforgettable score by Maurice Jarre. I was lucky enough to see this film many years ago in a replenishment in a large cinema in Barcelona with a huge screen for cinerama, the truth is that I really enjoyed it, it is an ideal film to see in the cinema, it is a pity that these great ones are not replenished movies in theaters. All the great actors that appear in the film have great performances but I would especially highlight the great performance of the great actor Peter O'Toole from this film he began his great success in the cinema for me he is one of the best British actors of all time with a great filmography with great films such as Becket 1964, The Night of the Generals 1967, Man of La Mancha 1972, among many others. The truth is that these great films are no longer made in the cinema, they would be too expensive with so many extras, now it would be all virtual and it is not the same.

When it’s on at the BFI (British Film Institute) I always go and see it, on a huge screen on a 70mm print. It’s breathtaking.

“Sir David Lean watched John Ford's The Searchers (1956) time after time for inspiration.”

Appreciate this great commentary, thank you! This has been my favorite film forever and made me take a lifelong interest in the real Lawrence.

A note regarding the hospitality scene, the Bedouin culture requires them to shelter any travelers they meet who ask for it. This was because the desert was so unforgiving to refuse food, water or shelter to someone would be a death sentence. I'm not sure if the culture has changed in recent times but I know this was the case at least in the 1970s since I read about it after encountering this in another film and book series (the Black Stallion movies and books if you are interested that have some phenomenal cinematography and I think you would enjoy).

Your passion for older films is very refreshing in a young woman. I think it shows depth to your character which is sadly missing in modern society . When i first watched tv these old classics were wall to wall and i would also visit the cinema three times a week which was when i saw Lawrence of Arabia.

Such an EPIC! But besides the landscapes for me the most impressive scene is with Peter O’Toole "naked." You see only his bare shoulders, but there's such a high tension in the scene. As a child I didn't understand it, but it's unforgettable.

Great soundtrack and cinemascope of the desert.

Epic film about a legend. You missed out the match scene it's a classic. "The trick William Potter is not minding that it hurts" A classic piece of screenplay and cinematography is when O'Toole later holds a match up and the scene fades to the Sun rise in the desert. The match becomes the Sun. Film making at its best.

The actor, Anthony Quinn, didn't need dark or tinted makeup. Like many other Mexican or Mexican descent actors, he already had a dark enough complexion for a Middle Eastern role. His Arab nose was fake, but sometimes, something about a character's appearance has to stand out, so that the audience can quickly differintiate them as significant. ...It's not always rooted in bigotry, prejudice, or stereotyping.

So much to discover! So fun to see you discover it. :)

In this movie, the dialog is very important. He says 'it is a Harat well'. For good reason.

Definitely a thumbs up. Great review.

David lean and especially this movie and Ben-hur defined the meaning of “Epic movie” for me

Good thoughtful review Mia. I can relate to your urge to rush to see this in a cinema, because I did exactly that when this movie was restored in all it's glory! I was lucky enough to see it in a cinema with a giant cinemascope screen in it's original 70mm format. It was incredibly beautiful.

Amazed to find someone react to this Masterpiece

Wow, your reaction is riveting. I'm deeply pleased to have come across your excellent channel. Can't wait for your next video! Just wanted to mention one cinematic aspect in this masterpiece, that I particularly enjoy, which is direct cutting. Editor Anne V. Coates mentioned being influenced by some of the films coming from the "Nouvelle Vague" (the French New Wave cinema movement) in the late 50s and early 60s. Direct cuts and jump cuts were an aspect of some of those films. Typically back then, studio pictures used an optical dissolve to indicate the passage of time, and/or reorientation of place from one scene to another scene much later or much further away. When editing a rough cut, an editor would literally make a note in grease pencil on the film itself that a "dissolve is need for this cut," but then perform a direct cut, as that is all one can do when initially editing a film manually. When the rough cut is projected for review, the director and editor will see it as a direct cut, but also glimpse the note that reads "dissolve," and know that eventually the transition will be a dissolve, once the cut is locked, and can be sent to an optical printer to create those transitions. However, when this film transitions from Lawrence's death to his funeral and particularly when it transitions from Lawrence receiving his assignment in London to the sunrise in Arabia, the direct cuts where so dramatic, it seemed almost as though the film was jolting the viewer with the imagery. Coates suggested to Lean that they forego the dissolves and keep the direct cuts, also mentioning that some of the young upstart filmmakers in France were doing this more "modern" style of editing, and that it was creating a more intense immediacy to their films. Lean agreed and so you have this, at the time, odd technique employed in "Lawrence of Arabia," to a bold and startling effect.

This has been one of my favorite films since I saw it as a kid. You made me appreciate things about it I'd never noticed before! Your reactions and reflections are so incredibly thoughtful and insightful... definitely want to watch more of your videos now!

“José Ferrer was initially very unsatisfied about the small part he was offered. He only accepted on condition that he be paid $25,000, more than Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif combined, plus a factory-made Porsche. Ironically, Ferrer once said about his tiny role that he considered it to be the finest acting of his career.”

This is one of those films where the scenery in the movie is as much as a star as one of the actors . I was 12 years old when this film came out and my father took me to the theatre with him to see it . I didn’t quite grasp what was going on at that age but I knew one thing . I knew I had just seen one of the best if not the very best movie ever , something deep and serious that I wasn’t quite used to .

Loveable is not a word I would use to describe Lawrence. He was a hard man (he had to be to survive), cerebral to certain extent, but open to new ideas etc. Earnest.

I spent a day and a night in Wadi Rum about 15 years ago. It's a well-known tourist thing you can do - Bedouins take you out in jeeps and you ride around and they show you where scenes in the movie was filmed, then you spend the night in a tent and they cook for you. It's in what is now Jordan - we crossed over from Eilat, Israel, which is right next to Aqaba on the Red Sea, but there are many ways to get there.

On the big screen this film is staggeringly beautiful. Omar Sharif's entrance is till widely considered the greatest entrance in cinema. if you would like to see a very wild Peter O'Toole film, The Stuntman, is equal parts funny and disturbing, and the plot is so off-beat ... highly recommended.

You have as rapidly come to appreciate as I did what a masterpiece Lawrence of Arabia is in the grand history of cinema. It is far and away my favorite film of all-time, surpassing Casablanca (1942) and The French Connection (1971), two other best picture winners. When the great English literature classic, “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” was first published in 1926, it was met with some mixed reviews. Mainly, some critics believed that the author was being entirely overly braggadocious about his exploits in the war. After his records were declassified, it was evident he was telling the full truth. Meanwhile, Lawrence is a contravertial figure in the Arab world. After Thomas Edward’s premature death in 1935, the rights to his book and papers fell to his brother Arnold Walter Lawrence. Many different projects and screenplays were presented to him over decades to tell the T.E. Lawrence story, but it wasn’t until this version that met with his approval. However, there are some historical errors in the film. I’ll let you find out what they are on your own afteward as that would be sort of giving you spoilers of spoilers. It never-the-less takes little away from the sweeping epicness of the film’s brilliant narrative and construction, not to mention the sweeping Maurice Jarre score. The movie was shot in 70mm Panavision. An early challenge for the photographer was that the extreme desert temperatures turned the film white. They had to ice down the cameras while shooting to prevent this from occuring. The mirage scene with Sherif Ali approaching out from the dust storm toward the well is still considered a master stroke of photographic ingenuity. The dust storm was created by Rolls Royces being driven around in circles. Perhaps my favorite minor character in the film is Mr. Perkins who makes a boots down appearance in the film as General Allenby’s aide. I always get a chuckle when he appears. I did see Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen about a decade ago. It was a magnificent treat! I do encourage you to do the same if you get the opportunity!!! Peter O’Toole would receive seven Best Actor Academy Award nominations, including for his work in Lawrence of Arabia, never once winning the prize. The Academy granted him an honorary Oscar in 2003. He received an eighth nomination in 2007, but lost again. For the record, I am also a big Claude Rains fan!

Some of the most important information is from Claude Rains' character as the "equivocating" DIPLOMAT. It's about Birish colonialism, and the ultimate issue is OIL.

This is one of the greatest films ever made. Unlike many fins if the early 60s, it is a more realistic depiction of Arabs as themselves. Just to correct you a bit on your comments about the makeup. Omar Sharif was Egyptian, Anthony Quinn was Mexican. His skin tone in this film is fairly close to his natural complexion. You can see in Peter O'Toole's portrayal what the strain and violence of this war is doing to the sensitive intellectual of T.E. Lawrence. It gets even worse in the second half of the movie.

_"Who wrote this screenplay?"_ That would be playwright *Robert Bolt,* one of the best screenwriters in film history. He makes a brief cameo in one of the Cairo station scenes. More top Bolt: 1986's majestic _The Mission._ Worth checking out.

If you are ever looking for a heartwarming, revolutionary war film, Drums Along The Mohawk with Henry Fonda and Claudine Cobert is wonderful. The chemistry between them is so sweet.

Maurice Jarre composed the score and won the Oscar. It is fantastic,,, and beat out Elmer Bernstein's great score for To Kill a Mockingbird. Took my son to see this in a theater, with a live orchestra, He loved it.

I can't imagine Brando mumbling his way through this role! And with entirely the wrong accent, to boot. Ages ago I got The Seven Pillars of Wisdom from the library. It must have been an original printing: I noticed a gap of a few lines halfway down a page; later on, there was a few more gaps, then a paragraph-sized gap, and later on again, almost a whole-page gap, This happened al the way through the book, and it wasn't a short one. I can only assume that bits had to be removed, for legal reasons, and, rather than reset the whole book to take out the gaps [pre-electronic times when print was set by hand], they just printed it gaps included. Or maybe Lawrence wanted everyone to know that it had been censored.

never got around to watching this movie ... now you got me wanting to see this..

“Almost all movement in the movie goes from left to right. Director Sir David Lean said he did this to emphasize that this movie was a journey.”

Hidden gem of the 40s, The Devil and Miss Jones, with Jean Arthur and Charles Coburn, two actors with tremendous chemistry, Arthur playing the perky young woman vs. Coburn the wealthy old curmudgeon.

This is my favorite film of all time! Great acting, great cinematography, great soundtrack, great character study! What more could you ask for?

The "Seven Pillars of Wisdom " is an astonishing piece of literature. It is so well written that that fact shapes your perception of the man and his accomplishments. Like U.S. Grant's autobiography or Churchill's "History of the Second World War," the quality of the composition is evidence of a towering intellect and reflects back on the content.

All I know of most classic war films, and classic films in general, is from growing up watching them with my dad. Seeing a reaction to Lawrence of Arabia with such enthusiasm for the history of both the era-production and a subject matter is so heartwarming and engaging. AND THAT SCORE! Wide-sweeping, orchestral themes that BEG the imagination to wonder off into the desert. Thank you for this video

I saw the restored version in 1989 at the Ziegfeld in NYC. Stunning! NO CGI!

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite movies. I am afraid it is not so widely appreciated now, especially since it is usually viewed on a TV screen. This motion picture is the absolute definition of epic and no one handles epics better than David Lean. When you can, you must check out Bridge on the River Kwai and Doctor Zhivago, two other epics by Lean. And if you are still in the epic mood, you might check out The Sand Pebbles. directed by Robert Wise and staring Steve McQueen in his best role.

"Loveable"!? He's an iconoclast. He was educated at Oxford, and immersed in Middle Eastern literature.

Okay, First, I adore you!! I am so impressed that you actually took some time and researched where the movie came from and the fact that you know and LOVE Claude Rains! This is one of my favorite all time movies. It is a cinematic masterpiece and I love that you love it :) Most of the movies you are reviewing are ones that I love and have seen, but I so enjoy people watching them for the first time and seeing their reactions. I will definitely check out the rest of your videos. I have subscribed and Wish you all the best. May I suggest to you Hitchcock's "Lifeboat", "The Philadelphia Story" as well as IMHO the best movie about Hollywood EVER done "Sunset Blvd." Thank you for your genuine reactions!!

Still in the Hayes code years, my dear.... but it was on its last legs.

“Although 3 hours and 36 minutes long, this movie has no women in speaking roles. It is reportedly the longest movie not to have any dialogue spoken by a woman.”

The 70mm restored print is shown on the huge screen at the historic Egyptian Theater in Hollywood every year. It is stunning.

about? 15 years ago i watched this at an art theatre it was digitally remastered. i had seen it on tv but it was an experience to see it on the big screen and hear it through the sound system. beautiful.

This was one of my favorite experiences in a theater. Projected in 35mm with an Intermission. If you can see it on a big screen ever, do it!

Seeing this in a theater is on my bucket list.
