A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Robert Harris]

Further information from the ImdB Alternate versions page:

"In the scene in the second half where General Allenby entices Lawrence back to Arabia part of that scene is cut by a few seconds. Where Allenby says to Lawrence: "You're the most extraordinary man I've ever met" Lawrence replies: I'm extraordinary, I'm extraordinary, what of it." Lean decided to cut the second "I'm extraordinary" out."

From what point of reference. About three minutes were cut in 1963. We put it all back, but the voice replacement for Allenby didn't work out. We were told to find another voice actor, but the project was shut down before we could do so.

David did cut the second "I'm extraordinary" in April of 1988

Once again, thank you very much for your answer, Mr. Harris!

RAH,
Any thoughts about this article regarding the decline condition of many digital files of movies and television shows?

“It’s a Silent Fire”: Decaying Digital Movie and TV Show Files Are a Hollywood Crisis

Industry pros sweat the possibility that many digital files will eventually become unusable — an archival tragedy reminiscent of the celluloid era.

Agree 100%. Those who store family photos and videos on their phones, old video tape or old drives may be in for a rude awakening.

While we can access negatives from the mid-19th century, and scan or make prints, I'd bet that 90% of home imagery from the 1980 and '90s is already gone.

It's a wonderful read.
(As I should know, having been through it three times already. )

Charles Gray or Robert Rietti (or Rietty) the Voice [ADR/Looping] Dubbers?

Gray was used by studio exec decision - failed. We needed Robert.
