Lawrence of Arabia 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman July 22, 2022

Sony has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the epic 1962 masterpiece 'Lawrence of Arabia.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the previous 4K release (noting the inclusion of previously missing bonus features), which was once exclusive to Sony's prestigious Columbia Classics Collection. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Lawrence of Arabia 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  5.0 of 5

Sony's elegantly glossy SteelBook will show some mild fingerprinting. The front image depicts a handsome bit of artwork that features a desert setting, predominantly, with a few small green bushes poking from the terrain. A sun, which is literally ablaze, is setting. A blood-red sky appears in the background. A couple of airplanes fly across the right-side portion of sky. Center is Lawrence on camelback. The rear panel is entirely red save for an image of Lawrence's exotic dagger, center, with a small bush beside it. There is no legalese; such has been moved to the very bottom of the SteelBook. The spine is a classy black with the film's title center. A Sony logo appears at the bottom.

Inside, the four discs, two Blu-rays and two UHDs, are situated on their own hubs, one each on the interior panels and on opposite side of a center movable leaf. There is no inner print; it is simply a classy uniform copper color.

For full coverage of the on-disc supplemental content, please click here; note that this release features the "corrected" discs which include bonus content originally missing from the original release.


Lawrence of Arabia 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  5.0 of 5

Elegant. Classy. Beautiful. A must-own. That's for the film, the UHD presentation, and the SteelBook, which of course earns my highest recommendation.
