Through June 28th, Amazon is offering Lawrence of Arabia for $43.49 (a 55% discount from its MSRP of $95.99)
Lawrence of Arabia, is one of the most acclaimed motion pictures ever made, winning seven Oscars at the 1963 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Director David Lean's epic drama focuses on the military career of T.E. Lawrence (the late, great Peter O'Toole), a lieutenant in the British Army who makes a profound impact on the Arab nations during World War I. Beginning with the motorcycle accident that claimed his life in 1935, Lean's film flashes back, following Lawrence from his initial explorations in and around Cairo through his assault on the Turks in Damascus, an experience that united the region's Arab tribes but left Lawrence cynical and disillusioned.
Sony's Limited Edition boxset offers the 227-minute director's cut (including the overture, intermission, entr'acte and exit music) of the film in its 2.20:1 original aspect ratio with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. The print used is courtesy of a 4K digital restoration; according to Sony's official press release, "the original camera negative was scanned at 8K and the film went through a painstaking process of repairing problems inherent to the fifty-year old film elements."
The film also contains numerous bonus supplements, including many specific to this Limited Edition, such as archival interviews with fans of the film, vintage behind-the-scenes featurettes, a never-before-seen deleted scene, and a newly produced Lawrence of Arabia appreciation interview with Martin Scorsese.
