Arabesque in 4K
Arabesque in 4K
“ULTRA MOD, ULTRA MAD, ULTRA MYSTERY,” screams the stylish poster for Arabesque, a slight redux of filmmaker Stanley Donen’s earlier Charade (1963), this time pairing Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren for a thrilling England-set, internationally minded mystery. Penned by Charade scribe Peter Stone under the pseudonym Pierre Marton and lensed by British cinematographer Christopher Challis in glorious Technicolor, a Dior-clad Loren (also outfitted with fifty pairs of shoes) keeps the audience in doubt of her allegiances until the final minutes of this intriguing thriller centered on an American professor (Peck), tasked with decoding hieroglyphics to help untangle a conspiracy.
