"When [Lawrence of Arabia] was in production, screenwriter Michael Wilson was not paying much attention to Lawrence's sexuality. Wilson was more concerned with the theme of colonialism versus nationalism, and Lawrence's scholastic pursuits. This clearly displeased Lean, who wanted to paint more of a controversial character study, albeit on a large canvas, than Wilson had so far achieved. As far as one can judge from Wilson's notes, Lean had two overriding concerns - Lawrence's sexual make-up, and the scene that he would film in Petra. As far as the former is concerned, Wilson noted that Lean had, revealingly, compared the Lawrence-Ali relationship to Brief Encounter, his 1945 film about an unconsummated love affair starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson." - Brief Encounters: Lesbians and Gays in British Cinema 1930 – 1971 by Stephen Bourne

Your love is the romantic kind. The kind that makes big demands. Nearness, belonging, fulfillment and priority over everything else. THE PASSIONATE FRIENDS (1949) — Dir. David Lean

My favourite moment in cinema history is when Peter O'Toole gets his new clothes in Lawrence of Arabia and starts prancing around all fruity and queer in the desert with his robes and new cape and then it cuts to Auda Abu Tayi frowning at him.

Phyllis Dalton was robbed of an Oscar for “Lawrence of Arabia” because nobody even entered her name in the competition. Her work was incredible, she designed hundreds and hundreds of costumes, went shopping in bazaars for fabrics, researched every army uniform, even found Allenby’s old tailor and had to make sure every costume was ready in time and in various variants.
