Thread: Arabesque

  1. #1

    Default Arabesque

    If you should ever feel the need to watch a classic action movie, starring Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren, in a marvel of film engineering that not only japes every spy film of its day (including contemporaneous James Bond flix) but includes so many double (and even triple) entendres that it’s nearly impossible to keep track of them, watch this one. It might make you look at Raiders of The Lost Ark and just about every other film since ’66 in a different light. Not to mention what Alfred Hitchcock used to crank out. Both before and after that.

    I watched it on TCM but it probably streams on Netflix et. al.
    (just a suggestion. and some interesting takes on what was important geopolitically then and now)

    I've only seen the movie once. I'm not a fan of Sophia Loren but am one of
    Cary Grant. We're look a likes.

    Hopefully I'll get to watch the movie on Netflix.

    Considering what Cary probably looks like today, I don't think I would advertise that. LOL

    The film highlighted all the issues of the times involved in filming.
    Of then and now. (in a politically acceptable manner)
    And it wasn't by Blake Edwards or Stanley Kubrick or that other Dude.

    Back then, in England, they had Call Boxes . . . blimey?
