A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia is a British television film of 1990 depicting the experiences of T.1 Lawrence and Emir Faisal of the Hejaz at the Paris Peace Conference after the end of the First World War . One of the conference's many concerns was determining the fates of territories formerly under the rule of the defeated Ottoman Empire . The film stars Ralph Fiennes (in his first film role) as T. It was made by Anglia Films and Enigma Television, and was first screened in April 1990 on the ITV network before being aired on PBS in May 1992.2 The film was produced in 1990, a year after David Lean 's film epic, Lawrence of Arabia (1962), was re-released to cinemas. It serves as an unofficial sequel to that earlier film, as it depicts events that happened after the First World War . The film's screenplay was written by Tim Rose Price . Christopher Menaul directed the film. The film goes further than its predecessor in reflecting the work of contemporary historians . It demonstrates contemporary concerns about British and international politics and ethnic conflict. It also explores further Lawrence's enigmatic personality and suggests more openly his alleged homosexuality. The film also has Lawrence having to deal with his illegitimate birth, much as the Arab peoples seek legitimacy for their burgeoning nations, suggesting that legitimacy at both the personal and national levels is subject to the will of others with power.3
