Lawrence of Arabia

It was at this period the the film "Lawrence of Arabia" was being filmed in Seville and men were needed to act as extras, Some of the budding film stars can be seen in the pictures and were among the lucky ones to go on this trip. They were put up at the Engelterra Hotel in Seville, a very good hotel and were filming at the Palace for the Officers Mess scenes. To this day you can see many men in those scenes that we all remember from 1960 when we were all young men.
