Peter O’Toole was a complex individual. It’s so typical of lesser people who have not achieved anything in their own lame lives to comment on this old clip as if they could do better. They pick away at his mannerisms, his chain smoking, his alcohol consumption, and his womanizing like bitter old spinsters sitting on a park bench. O’Toole was one of a kind. No one will ever live a fuller life, or bring so much talent and personality to the stage and screen again. The best part is that he couldn’t care less what other people thought about him. A life well lived.

I was eight when it came out. Saw it with parents at the beautiful Fox Theater in Detroit. I was captivated. I was so inspired by the beautiful panoramic desert shots I went home and wrote a lengthy poem called Ode To The Desert. It netted me my first accusation of plagiarism. I was mortified. But I still write and still love that masterful film. I became a lifelong fan of O'Toole and could always recall that haunting score like it was yesterday. As a teen I devoured his biography. As an adult I have seen the film a handful of times. Maybe I'm due again now at 70.

So interesting to see the styles of the 70s in their heyday. I was too young to notice when this was contemporary, and these days, it seems like our memories of 70s style exists as parodies of it. So it's interesting to see the authentic, unironic version in its natural environment. O'Toole's particular blend of lush materials in drab colors, his washed out tie and pants, that shaggy, careless romantic hairstyle and beard with those brass glasses, that's a look from that period that I thing was particular to the UK. I remember seeing Richard Burton sport a similar look, though I seem to rememver he favored wine-red over olive green. Regardless, I don't ever really see parodies of this style in modern recreations. Meanwhile, I'm kind of stunned by Dick's unironic wide collars and lapels, his huge tie, and the overgrown hair helmet that looks like a comb-over. I feel that this style works well for a certain type of robust body, but Dick is so elegant and slight, he looks like a scarecrow in all that tailored excess. It honestly never struck me before how handsome he is, because all I saw is the suit and hair that never suited him. But here, he reminds me strikingly of Paul Bettany. Of course, Paul wears fashions that flatter his leanness. Anyway, just one man's opinions.

@@captaincrunch8333 I may be biased, of course. My first experience of fashion in the early 80s was to shrug off everything 70s, from the hair to the bell bottoms and butterfly collars. It was interesting to watch the fashions in the show Mad Men abandon all the style of the 60s in favor of the square's idea of 70s cool. I kind of see 70s fashion as that, an attempt by the mainstream culture to integrate the hippies' rejection of that culture. It was a weird period in fashion. Anyway, I don't think it suits Dick. The hair especially. As a kid, I always thought of him as weird and square looking. It only now occurs that I was looking at the clothes, not the man. Of course, some people really looked amazing in those styles.

It was so confusing to me, as only ten years earlier, it was established that everything 70s was hopelessly outdated and square. Of course now, I realize it's all part of the cycle. In the 70s, there was a gigantic 50s revival, with Sha-Na-Na and Grease at the tip. In the 60s, the beau-arts of the 30s were revived. Currently, the 90s are back, with kids wearing early raver and Burning Man styles, and Ghost bringing back stadium metal in a delightfully silly, tongue-in-cheek way.

LOL. My fave Mad Mag panel in that parody was when the Arab fighters are charging forward to slaughter a lot of Turkish soldiers & Lawrence shouts "Internal injuries only! Internal injuries only!"

There is something about a person who demands attention without even trying just because they are so good. O'Toole is one such person that he can make a minor script or line look good just by looking at it. There are so many actors today who make millions and BS all through their acting career with little dialogue and tons of action scenes. It does not make them actors.
