ARABESQUE 4K

Kino Lorber will be releasing a 4K Ultra edition next month of Stanley Donen's classic film, Arabesque. Starring Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren, the story revolves around a secret message and various cloak & dagger escapades and double-crosses. While not to the level of Charade, I've always found some qualities to love about the movie. Donen himself knew the project needed something extra and his solution was to insert many art-inspired visuals. From a striking assassination during an eye exam, with projected eye chart graphics, to the addition of many Op Art pieces to the decor, these extra touches added mystery, subtext, and gave the film a fun modernist gloss. With Loren as co-lead, fashion was also front and center, along with the quirky addition of a shoe fetishist. From the press release: "Ultra Mod, Ultra Mad, Ultra Mystery! Enter the world of Arabesque—a high-speed, high-class tale of international intrigue starring screen icons Gregory Peck (The Guns of NavaroneMirage) and Sophia Loren (Five Miles to MidnightMarriage Italian Style). An American hieroglyphics professor (Peck) is hired by a mysterious Arab oil magnate to decipher a secret message. When the hidden meaning is revealed, the chase is on as he and the oil magnate’s exotic yet unpredictable companion (Loren) find themselves caught in the middle of an assassination plot. The great Stanley Donen (Singin’ in the RainCharade) directed this exciting romantic thriller that features the stylish music of Henry Mancini (The Pink PantherTouch of Evil) and the acting talents of Alan Badel (Force 10 from Navarone), Kieron Moore (David and Bathsheba) and George Coulouris (Citizen Kane)." Check out the bonus features and more info over at Kino. Related Spy Vibe post: Reflecting on Arabesque & Peter Stone
