Producer Sam Spiegel and director Sir David Lean wanted Marlon Brando for the title role, Brando who had won an Oscar in the Spiegel-produced On the Waterfront (1954). Still involved in the editing of his directing debut One-Eyed Jacks (1961), Brando turned down the offer, saying he didn't want to take two years out of his life riding a camel in the desert. Ironically, Brando signed for the role of Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty (1962), which ran way over budget and way over schedule. Whereas "Arabia" was a great success, "Bounty" was considered a flop and damaged Brando's career. As reports of his temperamental and disruptive behavior during that costly "Bounty" location shoot filtered out, Spiegel and Lean were relieved not to be working with him. Still keen to work with Brando, Lean later offered him the role of Komarovsky in Doctor Zhivago (1965) and subsequently the schoolteacher married to the eponymous protagonist of Ryan's Daughter (1970). Brando did not respond to either offer. Rod Steiger--who played Brando's brother in "Waterfront"--played Komarovsky, while Robert Mitchum appeared as the schoolteacher in "Daughter".
