Arabesque - 1966 An expert in ancient
hieroglyphics unexpectedly finds himself involved
in a web of international intrigue in this chic,
enjoyably tongue-in-cheek espionage adventure.
Gregory Peck stars as David Pollock, an American
professor whose predictable academic routine is
overturned when he is hired to help translate a
mysterious message written in an obscure ancient
text. The real trouble begins, however, when
everyone from a wealthy oil magnate to a foreign
government to brutal criminals starts to chase
Pollock, desperate to discover the nature of the
deciphered message. Along for the ride is Yasmin
Azir (Sophia Loren), the gorgeous lover of
Pollock's employers, whose loyalties are
questionable, to say the least.
