Peter O'Toole's screen test was more modest than Albert Finney's, taking only a day to shoot. He dyed his hair blond and shaved the beard that he was wearing in a Stratford, England, production of "The Merchant of Venice." Sir David Lean was impressed at the first sight of him in costume. Halfway through the screen test, he stopped the cameras and said, "No use shooting another foot of film. The boy is Lawrence." O'Toole signed for the movie with the stipulation that his wife, actress Siân Phillips, be flown to the location once a month at the production's expense.
