Arabesco (1966)
David, un famoso egiptólogo, se ve involucrado en la lucha por el poder que mantienen tres bandos en un país de Oriente Medio. El objetivo es descifrar una inscripción jeroglífica que todos buscan. David es contratado para traducirla, pero sabe desde el primer momento que su vida estará constantemente en peligro. Pero treinta mil dolares, su lealtad al Primer Ministro y, sobre todo, la bella Jazmine, le obligan a seguir el juego hasta el final.
