starring Gregory Peck, Sophia Loren
directed by Stanley Donen
105 minutes
Professor David Pollock (Gregory Peck) meets Yasmin Azir (Sophia Loren) while he is in the process of doing a favor for the prime minister of an unnamed Middle Eastern country. Both find themselves targeted for death by at least two different factions as they attempt to decrypt a coded message written in hieroglyphics.
Thoughts
The dialogue sounded very much like it was dubbed in. I think that this wasn't uncommon in this era but it was jarring to my ears.
This movie was more style than substance. I didn't care for most of the stylistic choices. It was very hard to make sense of it all or even the majority of it. This was very much a hard pass for me. I don't feel as if I got much of anything worthwhile by watching this movie.
