If you loved Die Brücke am Kwai, try Lawrence von Arabien
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen

What Lawrence von Arabien is
Desert sands swirl, camel bells ring, a lone figure emerges. Lawrence stands between Ottoman forces and rebellious Arab tribes, a fragile alliance forming. Lean directs with a historian's eye.
