I'm not sure that this would have proved feasible for a conventional 'story' film; Tony Richardson tried to rectify his narrative limitations in Charge of the Light Brigade with cartoon interludes illustrating historic conflicts, but these only disrupted whatever mood or atmosphere the rest of the film had been building. Lawrence of Arabia is the best attempt yet at depicting a spectacular event through an influential individual's viewpoint, but I fear that to his film's misfortune, director David...
