Celebrating in style and brilliant acting of Loren and Peck,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arabesque [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I saw this Stanley Donen's treasure when I was just 16years old-in b/w television, and since I'v been real fan of La Loren. Now I'v got this movie to my own liberary and it's outstanding! VHS-tape is very good-and the film itself: one of the most entertaining thriller/comedy of all-time! Loren and Peck has their own rhytm of comedy-and hole story has filmed in fine artistic way.Sophia Loren can just stand in the shower, and she can express all emotions in one look. Acting, story, colour and music have been put forth exiting and beautiful movie-you can just love it!!

This review is from: Arabesque [DVD] (DVD)
Why it has taken so long for us to get this brilliantly entertaining movie on DVD is a mystery.
That the movie, essentially a typical 60s piece of fluff in the Charade vein, succeeds so well is due in no small part to director Stanley Donen's concept for clever and adroit staging enhanced by some of the very best repartee and cinematography of that period and Henry Mancini underlines it all with yet another of his witty soundtracks. Gregory Peck, never renouned for comedy work here rises superbly to the challenge - he needed to as he is pitted opposite two of the best in the business. Alan Badel is on top form as the suave cynical villain - no surprise there then. However the main honours go to the comedy talent and timing skills of the gorgeous Sophia Loren - never has she looked more stunning and rarely has she had the opportunity to give such a top notch performance. Her acting and well deserved Oscar for Two Women pale into insignificance when measured against her star turn in Arabesque.

Funny and interesting for a Sunday afternoon watching with friends or family,
By Cinephilo "Kinophilo" (Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arabesque [DVD] (DVD)
From the director of Charade (with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant) and Indiscret (with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman) this film is funny as much as the two others and with two superstars again as the two others. I had missed it when it came up in cinemas about 45 years ago and could catch it in DVD two, three days ago. Do we realize how lucky we are? with just a small disc and with a small price we get 2 hours of fun.
In some ways this film reminds me some of James Bond films in which some mysterious exotic political affairs were involved.
