Since it has been established (above) that this film was a purely UK production, why are the budget and box office figures in the infobox expressed in (presumably US) dollars? --Ekaterina Colclough (talk) 08:10, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It was not "a purely UK production", whatever that even means. Comments on talk pages aren't sources. The composer of the score was French. One of the screenwriters was American. It was distributed by Columbia Pictures, an American film distributor. Anthony Quinn was Mexican-American. José Ferrer was Puerto Rican. Arthur Kennedy was an American actor. Omar Sharif was Egyptian.
The film was a British-American co-production. Do you have a source that states the budget and BO figures in British pounds? All reporting I can find provided details in US dollars. But beyond that...what difference does it make? Anastrophe (talk) 08:37, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Legacy section of the article proclaims LoA as inspiration for many later works of fiction, such as Star Wars, Dune or... Frozen?
Frozen's mention in this article seems to be made entirely relying on a single line of an interview with Frozen's Directors, who in context were not referring to a direct influence of LoA in the film, but rather saying that due to the nature of their work, they tend to see a lot of movies and draw inspiration from a lot of sources:
"We watch a lot of live action movies too – that’s one of the many great things about what we do! We watched Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago".
It seems to me that to say that Disney's Frozen was influenced by Lawrence of Arabia is a false clame, being based on a single line taken out of context and should be removed. MelZahard (talk) 23:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds as though your real question is why the article for the book doesn't have a similar section? To which the answer is most probably simply that no editor(s) have undertaken the effort to write one. DonIago (talk) 06:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
