In the 60's there were a lot of one word comedy spy movies following the success of "CHARADE". We had "GAMBIT", "KALEIDOSCOPE","MIRAGE" and the best of them all "ARABESQUE". This stylish and quite intricately plotted thriller starred Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren giving power-packed,true glamorous movie star performances and apparently loving every minute of it.This feeling is transferred to the audience who is given much to enjoy.Excellently chosen London locations,well chosen supporting actors and a number of suspenseful and story driven action setpieces which give the movie a Bondish feel.The climax is exciting as Peck and Loren are chased on horseback by the villain's helicopter.The music too by Henry Mancini is catchy and has an Eastern feel to it in keeping with the plot and characters.Loren is at her beautiful and stunning best here and makes you wonder why it is that gentlemen prefer blondes,this reviewer certainly does not!
