Arabesque (1966) -- (Movie Clip) Nothing Like A Little Kidnapping Having turned down a proposition from an Arab magnate we know is inclined toward murder, American Oxford-visiting professor Pollock (Gregory Peck) gets grabbed by the Prime Minister (Carl Deuring) and ambassador (Harold Kasket) of the country in question, in Stanley Donen’s Arabesque, 1966.

Arabesque (1966) -- (Movie Clip) Messy Business In perhaps direct reference to Hitchcock’s Sabotage, 1936, shooting at the Regent’s Park Zoo aquarium in London, American scholar Pollock (Gregory Peck) and mysterious Yasmin (Sophia Loren) flee a goon (Larry Taylor) working for her power-mad sponsor, in Stanley Donen’s Arabesque, 1966.

Arabesque (1966) -- (Movie Clip) You Look As Though I Want To Drill Your Teeth Director Stanley Donen’s opening scene, John Merivale as Sloane greets George Coulouris as patient Ragheeb, with notable Hitchcockian qualities, in the follow-up to the director’s acknowledged Hitchcock homage Charade, 1963, from Arabesque, 1966, starring Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren.

Arabesque (1966) -- (Movie Clip) These English Crosswords Are Devilish Secretly working on behalf of a virtuous Arab government, American Egyptologist Pollock (Gregory Peck) meets Yasmin (Sophia Loren), mistress of sinister Beshraavi (Alan Badel), who’s hired him to decipher a hieroglyph he obtained through nefarious means, in Stanley Donen’s Arabesque, 1966.

Skin Game (1971) -- (Movie Clip) Free Territory Or No Con artist Quincy (James Garner) and partner Jason (Louis Gossett), whom he sells as a slave before they abscond, in 1857 Kansas, debate whether to press their luck, and meet Ed Asner as nasty trader Plunkett, early in Skin Game, 1971, from a story by Richard Alan Simmons, of Columbo fame.

Skin Game (1971) -- (Movie Clip) That's John Brown Himself! Two rival Kansans (Henry Jones, J. Pat O’Malley) bid up the price on slave Jason (Louis Gossett), to the delight of Quincy (James Garner) who poses as his owner but who is really his con-artist partner, when Royal Dano appears as the radical abolitionist John Brown, in Skin Game, 1971.

Skin Game (1971) -- (Movie Clip) Who'll Make An Offer? Because it’s James Garner and Louis Gossett, the viewer might guess it’s a scam, the former in the credit sequence having paraded the latter into a dusty Missouri town, 1857, George Tyne winning the bidding, with foul language, in the popular 1971 comic-Western Skin Game.
