Arabesque packs the names of Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren and a foreign intrigue theme, but doesn't always progress on a true entertainment course.

Overview
Sener and Müjde, who can never come together because of endless obstacles and misunderstandings, slowly drift into the plaintive world of arabesque music.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Much flashier than Donen's earlier Charade (also scripted by Peter Stone, alias Pierre Marton) and very sub-Hitchcock.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Fresh
About 10 minutes after Arabesque gets under way, you'll lose track of its plot completely, and that's as it should be.
Grace Glueck, New York Times
Fresh
It's a slick and satisfying entertainment.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The cinematic busywork offers sporadic fun, but also suggests the unsteady posture of a show that always seems about to fall flat on its pretty face.
