Lawrence of Arabia (film) co-author of a book on "Lawrence of Arabia", in which he noted that "Gone With the Wind" was never edited after its premiere and is 19,884 ft of 35 mm film (without leaders, overture, intermission, entr'acte, or walkout music), corresponding to 220.93 min. Thus, "Lawrence of Arabia" is slightly more than 1 minute longer than "Gone With the Wind" and is, therefore, the longest movie ever to win a Best Picture Oscar. In January 1963, "Lawrence" was released in a version edited by 20 minutes; when it was re-released in 1971, an even shorter cut of 187 minutes was presented.
