Arabesque

Midnight fog over Oxford’s towered spires, a single telegram on weathered oak. A scholar of forgotten scripts gets swept into a plot where every hieroglyph might spell murder. His only ally is a woman whose smile hides more than secrets. Donen’s swinging sixties lens makes espionage feel like a game of wit and waltzes.
