Horizontal Lieutenant, The (1962) -- (Movie Clip) I Thought You Were A Girl Before the credits Jim Hutton as Lt. Wye narrated his situation, stationed in quiet Hawaii in the later years of WWII, then a bench-warmer beaned by a foul ball on the squad baseball team, awakens to find himself attended by a gal from college (Paula Prentiss), who seems far sexier now, in The Horizontal Lieutenant, 1962, the fourth and final Hutton-Prentiss picture from MGM.

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.
