Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

rotten:
Much flashier than Donen's earlier Charade (also scripted by Peter Stone, alias Pierre Marton) and very sub-Hitchcock.

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,

fresh:
It's a slick and satisfying entertainment.

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.
