Also when one of the boys alerts Lawrence that Jackson Bentley is approaching him, the scene of him say in "The Man" was removed from the restored version but was in the 202, and possibly the 222 minute versions.

Are you referring to the shot of the very young girls, as you don't see them in the 202 minute version?

Trying to get feelings out of your heart and translating them into words is no easy task. While I sit here and watch "LAWRENCE OF ARABIA" for the umpteenth time and listen to Gerard Schurmann's wonderful orchestrations, it as if viewing the film has opened a gate to all my feelings concerning...

'LAWRENCE OF ARABIA" commenced its long run today, 57 years ago, at the Metropole Theater, Victoria, London at a reduced running time of 202 minutes. The day before it had completed its London World Premiere, with the longer running time of 222 minutes, at the Odeon Theater, Leicester Square.

Around the same time that I did the script extracts from "LAWRENCE", I started a similar project on "DOCTOR ZHIVAGO". I own the published screenplay of the film. I started going through it, comparing it to the finished film. Unfortunately I only got so far and the IMDB removed it, I think as a...

Several years ago I transposed several scenes from my copy of the screenplay on IMDB and how it finished up in the film, but it was removed. It took several hours to type. I recently found it among my documents and I thought it might be of interest to some of you. A) The opening: Lawrence's...

Did your reply get 'no-noised'?!

Some time ago, somewhere on this board, I expressed concern over an issue where some updating was done to the audio on "LAWRENCE" to further, I suppose you would could it digitize, distance any noticeable analog hiss that might be audible. This obsession has inadvertently created a problem with...

I have very clear and pleasant memories of meeting Robert Bolt. Not a sign of his presence during post production of "RYAN'S DAUGHTER", where I met a many of Sir David's 'dedicated maniacs', it wasn't until around 1972, where I was still working in Pinewood Studios Theater #5, that we received...

From the UK trade union magazine 'Film & Television Technician' September 1970:

I was watching more of the 4K stream of "LAWRENCE" today, on Amazon Prime, and I was reminded again of a scene that I thought was too dark and meant to bring it up here before. That is the night scene between Lawrence and Ali prior to Lawrence going back for Gasim. You have to struggle to see...

Probably the most unusual experience I had of meeting David Lean which was a daily occurrence as it was during the post production of "RYAN'S DAUGHTER" at Pinewood Studios. When utilizing the studio bathrooms at Pinewood you never knew who was going to walk in and stand next to you. Sure enough...

Going through some old letters recently, I came across a letter from a friend, a projectionist, that I had met when I first went to work at Pinewood Studios back in August, 1968. He told me that he worked at the Odeon, Leicester Square, as a projectionist, during the months December, 1962...

Yes. Apparently, Chace did some kind of additional sound processing that further diminished the noise floor which affected any low level audio in that range. Most notably, Ali's camel hooves which should have been clearly audible after Tafas' dialog "Bedou!", during the scene at the well. Only...

Thank you!

Could you please elaborate the location of the 'fishbowl' scene. Can't seem to figure this one out.

I checked the cloth bound and superbit dvd versions and, yes, I now hear what I was missing on the blu-ray (and the 4k on Amazon Prime!!). I listened to the Criterion Laserdisc and the sound effects in question seem more distinctive to me than the dvd's! I now wish I'd checked these before I...

You are referring to the "Adulation" music cue when Lawrence parades on the roof of the train.

Thank you for confirming that. Do you think the Criterion laserdisc edition was pre-Chace? If so I'll find it and have a listen. No offense meant.

Something that has bugged me every time I watch LOA but have never brought it up. Audio processing of any kind to remove audio surface noise I've never personally approved of. Particularly in any project that I am fortunate enough to have been involved with. There is an important scene in...

When I was a projectionist back in the '60's we tried to avoid showing the masking moving when changing from wide to 'Scope. The only time we showed the masking move was when we changed from commercials to a 'Scope trailer, because the curtains were not closed and re-opened at this point. We...

Robert, if I may disagree with you on that point. That 'shaking hand' scene was in the 202, it was removed in the further cutting in '70/'71 for the US.

Many thanks, Ron, most interesting.

There are six copies available here: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=howard+kent&sts=t&tn=single+bed+for+three

To those interested, I am presently re-reading an immensely fascinating little known book, published in 1963, called "Single Bed for Three" by Howard Kent. It is an 'on the spot' account of the making of this immense film. Kent has some very revealing information about Lean, the actors and the...

Robert, I just want to clarify that we are discussing the correct scene. I refer to the night scene when they discover Gasim has fallen from his camel, not the later night scene of Gasim's execution, which you refer to here, of which I had no problem with. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently...

NO! But thanks for reminding me.
