This book, written by Adrian Turner, presents an in-depth look into the production of the movie Lawrence of Arabia, which has a permanent place in film history, winning seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
• In 1989, nearly thirty years after it premiered in December 1962, Lawrence of Arabia was restored to its original version and has enjoyed a new lease of life on both the small and big screen.
• Behind every great movie lies a story waiting to be told, and Lawrence of Arabia is no exception. Its making was one of the most arduous and dramatic in Hollywood history. Behind it were to powerful men – director David Lean and producer Sam Spiegel – who wanted to surpass the critical and commercial success of their previous collaboration, The Bridge over the River Kwai. This ensuing eight months of filming in the remote Jordanian desert, followed by six months in Spain and Morocco, has become part of cinema legend.
• It is a story of casting difficulties and the story of how Sam Spiegel came to purchase the screen rights to T. E. Lawrence’s book Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Behind it also lurks the enigmatic figure of Lawrence himself, the so-called uncrowned King of Arabia whose life provoked so much admiration and so much controversy.
• A magnificent collection of full-colour illustrations, taken directly from a 70mm print of the film, as well as many previously unpublished black and white production stills, illustrate the book.

"Expensive but a special book for fans of the epic film! – The quality of the book production is excellent and that many of the major actors have sadly passed away makes it an extra special commemoration to them. I look forward to reading the book and finding out about how this classic film was made."

"Making A Legend! – The stills are from the original film and are as beautiful as Leans film. If it were simply a pictorial homage to the film it would be worth every penny, but Turner has meticulously pieced together the fascinating story of the films creation.
Beg, steal or borrow enough to grab a copy of this book from wherever you can. But don't ask me to part from mine … it's priceless."
