Lawrence of Arabia and A Dangerous Man are two quite different films in form and intention - a cinematic epic versus an intimate political tv drama (what we'd call Kammerspiel in German); both feature excellent actors and clever scripts, and obviously, both are based on different parts of that much debated and enigmatic man, T.E. Lawrence. I wouldn't have thought it possible to make a vid based on both, would have guessed the different sources too jarring (Peter O'Toole obviously not being Ralph Fiennes, Alec Guinness not Siddig el Fadil - that's Alexander Siddig for DS9 latecomers - etc.), but no: here's a wonderful visual meditation on Lawrence using both films.
