Trivia
When Peter O'Toole watched the film for the first time
Peter O'Toole afirmó que nunca vio la película completa hasta casi dos décadas después de su estreno original, momento en el que quedó muy impresionado.
First time on a camel
The first time Peter O'Toole tried riding a camel, blood oozed from his jeans. "This is a very delicate Irish arse", he warned his instructor". He finally mastered his camel-riding technique by adding a layer of sponge rubber under the saddle
Lens of 482 mm
To film Omar Sharif's entrance through a mirage, Freddie Young used a special 482mm lens from Panavision. Panavision still has this lens, and it is known among cinematographers as the "David Lean lens". It was created specifically for this shot and has not been used since.
