Peter O’toole

In 1962, Lawrence of Arabia catapulted Peter O'Toole to international stardom, his outstanding performance in David Lean's cinema epic earning him an immediate place in film history. On screen and off he has forged a reputation based on talent, hell-raising and an ability to surprise. Occasioned by the publication of the first volume of his memoirs, Loitering with Intent, this documentary with the rarely-interviewed actor gives a fascinating insight into his life.
