"“There are few, if any, film directors of any period who are as ambitious as Lean. And this is his most ambitious film…. Certainly one of the ten greatest films ever made, I think.” -Alec Baldwin “Epic filmmaking doesn’t get better than this…. You’ve got these great talents – Freddie Young, some of the most fabulous cinematography you’ll ever see. Direction by David Lean, none better. Wonderful music score by Maurice Jarre. Great script by Robert Bolt. These are really geniuse"

List of (real) film accidents/deaths (53 movies items)

"Actor Peter O'Toole was nearly killed when he fell from his camel. He also injured his hand during filming by punching through the window of a caravan while drunk. A brace or bandage can be seen on his left thumb during the first train attack scene, presumably due to this incident."
