A Different World - A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia review by KW
Interesting film covering the post world war 1 conference in Paris and the machinations ongoing between the UK and France as to how they will divide up the Middle East. Complications arrive in the form of T E Lawrence (Lawrence off Arabia) and Prince Faisal who Lawrence had helped to overthrow the Ottoman Empire during WW1. Interesting film to watch but at times I found it rather tedious and the portrayal of some of the leading UK politicians and Civil Servants a little over the top! A film only if you are interested in the subject!
