Review of Arabesque (1989) by Rob N — 21 May 2009

A linguistics professor who specializes in heiroglyphics is drawn into a crazy spy-game, never quite sure who is on his side and who is against him until the very end. Most of the story involves a variety of characters trying to chase down a coded message and threatening to kill Gregory Peck, except that they all need him alive to decode the message.

Sophia Loren is brilliant as she plays the good guys and bad guys against each other all the way through.
