A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia

A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia is a made-for-TV movie depicting the experiences of T. E. Lawrence and Emir Feisal of the Hejaz at the Paris Peace Conference after the end of World War I. One of the conference's many concerns was determining the fates of territories formerly under the rule of the defeated Ottoman Empire. The film stars Ralph Fiennes as T. E. Lawrence, Alexander Siddig as Feisal, Denis Quilley as Lord Curzon and Nicholas Jones as Lord Dyson. The film was produced in 1990, a year after David Lean's 1962 film epic, Lawrence of Arabia, was re-released to theatres. It... serves as an unofficial sequel to that earlier film, as it depicts events that happened after the Great War. The film's screenplay was written by Tim Rose Price, who enlisted the help of Robert Bolt, one of the screenwriters for the original Lawrence film. Bolt assisted with story, plotting, and the portrayal of Lawrence. Christopher Menaul directed the film. The film goes further than its predecessor in showing the effects of revisionist historians.
