Was there ever so delicious a queen as Dryden in Lawrence of Arabia? Rains gets as much out of his knuckles, physically, as he gets out of his arch intonation of lines.
But what is going on between him and Lawrence? Lawrence does seem to be a little more than a promising personel dossier to Dryden - perhaps a protege?
That strange first scene alone together, in which Dryden conspicuously unlocks his office's doors, with their panels of frosted glass, yet Lawrence immediately notices a sculpture and says that's new! Has he been inside before? Often before? Or is it just that he is so aware of archeological finds that he can recognize recent additions to the British catalogue on first sight?
