Shooting began on May 15, 1961 and ended on October 20, 1962. The desert scenes were shot in Jordan, Morocco, but also in Almería,and Doñana, Spain. The film premiered in London on December 10, 1962, and was released in the USA on December 16, 1962. Despite its 216 minute length (in the most recent Director's Cut), the film includes no women in speaking roles. The style of filming was an inspiration for Richard Attenborough's 1982 film Gandhi. Both films open with the lead character's death and then move into a flashback into their lives.
