Hi, this is Steve. Act 1 of Lawrence of Arabia ends with T.E. Lawrence in Triumph.

He has captured Akaba with a small force against impossible odds.

Cross the Sinai Desert to report to General Allenby in Cairo who promotes him giving him the respect and responsibilities he always wanted.

But rather than heal Lawrence, these triumphs serve only to drive him harder, and as the pressure mounts,

the cracks within his character threatened to break him and the Arab revolt apart.

T. Lawrence was without question a great man, but that greatness didn't come without a great price,

and just as Arabia is forever changed by the actions of T.E. Lawrence,

Lawrence is forever changed by Arabia.

Lawrence of Arabia is one of the great cinematic masterpieces

and a must have for any movie collection.

And if you want to build that collection,

a great place to start is our website, cinnophiles.net, where you can buy

Lawrence and every other movie we've ever reviewed. So that's Act 2 of Lawrence of Arabia with our special guest Rachel Cushing this Friday on the Cinephiles.

I shall want quite a lot of money.

All that is, not that much.

The best of them won't come for money.

They'll come for me. Hello and welcome back to the cinnophiles where each week we enter the world of great film and this week we continue our exploration of Lawrence of Arabia.

My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker in

Los Angeles, California.

I go bah!

Aqaba!

It's a little, uh, that's a little, uh, that's a little, uh, what do you call?
