Er… Yeah, David Lean… That’s the ticket, yeah… 🙂 Well needless to say, I’ll bet my copy is more exciting than yours.

Also, Alec Guinness made a really cool Faisel. As far as history goes, I think we might also point out that Bridge on the River Kwai is completely worthless as far as history goes. Our boy’s batting a thousand so far. Still a good movie, though.
