1966 жылы түсірілген фильм, режиссері Стэнли Донен
Arabesque is a 1966 American comedy thriller spy film directed by Stanley Donen and starring Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren, written by Julian Mitchell, Stanley Price, and Peter Stone based on The Cipher, a 1961 novel by Alex Gordon (pseudonym of Gordon Cotler). The film, along with Donen's immediately prior film Charade (1963), is usually described as being "Hitchcockian", as it features as a protagonist an innocent and ordinary man thrust into dangerous and extraordinary situations. It was the last film of that genre which Donen would make. Producer/director Stanley Donen wanted Cary Grant for the role of Pollock after working with him in his previous film Charade, and the dialogue for Pollock was written with Grant in mind. However, Donen was later quoted as saying,
[Grant] didn't want to be in it It wasn't a good script and I didn't want to make it, but Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren, whom I loved, wanted to be in it and the studio implored me to make it, because, they said, 'It's ridiculous not to make a film with Peck and Sophia.' They said it would make money, and they were right. Donen later estimated that $400,000 was spent on the script alone and cinematographer Christopher Challis recalled that the film went through several rewrites. Peter Stone, who was brought in very late to make improvements in the dialogue, said that Donen "shot it better than he ever shot any picture. Everything was shot as though it were a reflection in a Rolls Royce headlamp. "</blockquote>
Peck said about Donen that
<blockquote>Stanley had a terrific instinct, like a choreographer, which, of course, he had been. But even in an ordinary dramatic sequence he'd use the body to punctuate what was happening — standing, relaxing, everything, it was all choreographed. If you look at the picture, we were always moving, because Stanley just wanted to keep the ball in the air the entire time, and he used every camera trick you could think of. He also loved filming Sophia's decolletage and her rear end. Many internal and external scenes were shot at Tyringham Hall in Buckinghamshire. At the time the building was a disaster recovery site owned by the ANZ Banking Group and was largely unused and unfurnished. The railway bridge action scene was filmed on the historic Crumlin Viaduct in Crumlin, Caerphilly, which was being dismantled at the time. Loren's character drove a Mercedes Benz 230SL. The Rolls Royce Phantom IV which appears in the film was originally owned by Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester it is one of only eighteen Phantom IV examples ever built.
«Арабеске» – 1966 жылы түсірілген американдық комедиялық триллер, шпиондық фильм. Режиссері – Стэнли Донен, басты рөлдерде Грегори Пек пен София Лорен. Сценарий авторлары – Джулиан Митчелл, Стэнли Прайс және Питер Стоун. Негізінде Алекс Гордонның (настоящее аты – Гордон Котлер) 1961 жылғы «Шифр» романы жатыр. Бұл фильм, Доненнің осыған дейін түсірген «Шарада» (1963) фильмімен бірге, көбінесе «Хичкок стилінде» деп сипатталады, себебі оның басты кейіпкері – қауіпті және ерекше жағдайларға түсіп, өмірі өзгерген қарапайым адам. Доненнің осы жанрда түсірген соңғы фильмі осы болды. Продюсер және режиссер Стэнли Донен Поллок рөліне бұрынғы «Шарада» фильмінде жұмыс істеген Кэри Грантты шақыруды қалаған, тіпті Поллокқа арналған диалогты Грант есінде ұстап жазған. Бірақ, кейін Донен былай деді:

«Грант бұл фильмде ойнағысы келмеді. Сценарий жақсы емес еді, мен де оны түсіргім келмеді. Бірақ Грегори Пек пен София Лорен осы фильмде ойнағысы келді, ал студия маған түсіруді өтінді. Олар: «Пек пен Софиясыз фильм түсірмеу – ақымақшылық», – деді. Олар ақша табуға болатынын айтты, және олардың айтқаны дұрыс болды». Кейін Донен сценарийге 400 000 доллар жұмсалғанын еске алды, ал оператор Кристофер Чаллис фильм бірнеше рет қайта жазылғанын айтты. Диалогты жақсарту үшін шақырылған Питер Стоун Доненнің «бұрынғы фильмдерінен де жақсы түсіргенін» мәлімдеді. «Барлығы Роллс-Ройс фарасының шағылысындай болды». Пек Донен туралы: «Стэнлиде керемет сезімталдық болды, ол хореограф сияқты еді, ол да осындай болған. Бірақ тіпті қарапайым драмалық сахнада да ол дене қимылын қолданып, болып жатқан оқиғаны көрсететін. Ол тұрып, демалып, барлығын хореографиялық түрде орындады. Фильмді қарасаңыз, біз үнемі қозғалып тұрдық, себебі Стэнли допты ауада ұстағысы келді, және ол барлық мүмкін камералық тәсілдерді қолданды. Ол Софияның декольтесі мен арт жағын түсіруді де жақсы көретін». Көптеген ішкі және сыртқы көріністер Букингемширдегі Тирингэм залында түсірілді. Ол кезде ғимарат ANZ Banking Group-қа тиесілі апаттан сақтану орталығы болған, көбінесе пайдаланылмаған және жиһазсыздау болған. Теміржол көпіріндегі экшн-сцена Крамлиндегі тарихи Крамлин виадугінде түсірілді, ол кезде бұзылып жатқан еді. Лореннің кейіпкері Mercedes Benz 230SL машинасымен жүрді. Фильмде пайда болған Rolls Royce Phantom IV бастапқыда Глостер герцогы Генриге тиесілі болған, және ол барлығы он сегіз Phantom IV машинасының бірі.
