Read More »Fifty-one years ago today, Lawrence of Arabia premiered in the United States, changing forever the life of its 30-year-old star, Peter O’Toole. A stage actor whose first film credit had come just a year earlier, O’Toole was cast as World War I hero T.E. Lawrence after Albert Finney turned down the role; he beat out Marlon Brando, Anthony Perkins, and Montgomery Clift, among others. The movie would make O’Toole an international star, and when the actor passed away on Sunday at the age of 81, it was as Lawrence that many of us remembered him. O’Toole often told hugely entertaining stories about the arduous, five-month shoot in the deserts of Jordan, Morocco, and Span. During production he returned to England and showed off his welts from camel-riding to a bar full of onlookers. He claims to have “introduced sponge rubber into Arabian culture” after buying a piece of it in a Beirut market to put between himself and the saddle. And he survived those endless desert shots, riding a camel miles and miles away from the camera, this way: “It was all right. I had a transistor radio plugged into my ears and I had a cigarette going and I had a little bottle of something in the saddle bag. I was quite comfy.” Lawrence of Arabia was an immediate sensation upon its premiere. It was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won seven of them, including best picture and best director for David Lean. It would be the first of eight times that O’Toole was nominated for an Oscar but failed to win. (That’s a record, in case you were wondering.) The film’s influence continues in every imaginable form, from Steven Spielberg—he says Lawrence of Arabia inspired him to become a filmmaker—to last summer’s Prometheus, which explicitly modeled Michael Fassbender’s android character on OToole’s Lawrence.

Feisal and Lawrence agreed on a desert attack plan. On May 9, 1917, a small band of 50 Arabs left Feisal’s headquarters in Wejh on the Arabian Peninsula. They were led by Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat tribe, by the Sherif Nasir of Syria and by Lawrence, who was wearing Arab robes, riding a camel and carrying 22,000 British gold sovereigns. Lawrence was the only representative of Britain on this journey. Indeed, by his account, his superiors had not approved his plan. This Arab army dashed from well to well across some extraordinarily inhospitable territory, stopping occasionally to blow up Turkish railroad tracks or create diversions to confuse the Turks about their ultimate objective. With the help of the British gold, Auda abu Tayi drew fighters from tribes along the way. Approaching Akaba after almost eight weeks in the desert, the band — riding dozens of horses and hundreds of camels — was now more than 500 strong.
