“Lawrence of Arabia”: The North American Roadshow and 70mm Engagements
“After five years…the first motion picture from the creators of ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’”

Compiled by: Michael Coate Date: 13.06.2024
40th anniversary re-release, also at the Ziegfeld, New York, 2002

The following is a reference / historical listing of the roadshow and 70mm presentations of
"Lawrence of Arabia" in the United States and Canada.

The Columbia release was directed by David Lean (“Doctor Zhivago,” “Ryan’s Daughter”) and starred Peter O’Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Jose Ferrer, Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains, Arthur Kennedy, and Omar Sharif. The North American premiere was held December 15th, 1962, at the Criterion in New York City. (The film’s world premiere was held five days earlier on December 10th, at Odeon Leicester Square in London.)

The presentations cited in the Part 1 section of this work were “hard ticket” roadshow engagements (i.e. special, long-running, showcase presentations in major cities prior to the film being exhibited as a general release). Much like a stage production, these typically featured an average of only ten scheduled screenings per week, advanced admission pricing, reserved seating, and an overture/intermission/entr’acte/exit music. A souvenir roadshow program booklet and the film’s soundtrack album were sold, as well, in some locales.

The print types utilized during the film’s roadshow release were, depending on the booking, (1) 70-millimeter (2.20:1 from Super Panavision 70) with discrete magnetic six-channel stereophonic sound, (2) 35-millimeter reduction with discrete magnetic four-channel stereophonic sound and optical monaural sound, (3) 35-millimeter reduction with optical monaural sound.

Out of the hundreds of films released in North America during 1962, “Lawrence of Arabia” was among only nine given deluxe roadshow treatment and among only four released with 70mm prints.
