Sophia takes my breath away in this movie.........


She was so hot in this movie and her accent is so sexy.

A legendary beauty. If someone were to ask what movie to see her in which truly captures her beauty, I would say Arabesque is a darn good choice.

I just watched la dolce Sophia in "Houseboat" opposite Cary Grant, and in my opinion that movie really shows Sophia at her prime. She was only 24 years old, and though she was still perfecting her English (her accent is even sexier!), her performance is flawless, just like her figure, her eyes, her lips and her skin (I could go on ;-). Not to mention Cary Grant made a much better leading man than this over-his-prime Gregory Peck. An entertaining and engaging film - check it out if you get a chance.

I watched it yesterday and she was stunning. I particularly loved the amazing clothes and the shoe fetish scene where she tries on several different shoes and one thigh-length white boot - hilarious.

I saw Arabesque and thought a woman cannot look any better than Sophia Loren did in that movie. The only other movie I've seen of her is Houseboat where she had a better role and more chemistry with Cary Grant. Both are great examples of her beauty but I would give Arabesque the edge. She just looks fantastic in this movie.

I've long been of the opinion that in Arabesque, Sophia Loren gives women a lesson for the ages on what it's like to be sexy, as in there are two scenes (the one where she's in Gregory Peck's bed and the aforementioned shoe scene) in which she might not be wearing any underwear. (As for those people who mentioned Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, I have to confess that on seeing the scene in the middle section when she's driving with Marcello Mastroianni and at one point she puts her hand on his cheek, I couldn't help thinking "Marcello Mastroianni is the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

Never. More Beautiful.

"Arabesque" is her absolute pinnacle of flat-our gorgeousness.

oh every other actress mimicking that brit accent always sounds sexy. grace kelly worst culprit( she did that to the T), not far behind was hepburn and whoever came after that. It is elizibath who did other way around. she moved to US to rule!

And some how american actors never suited doing that accent. though I must say gregory did ok here! there is no stage kind of talk, just few lines, so they are able to talk that accent. otherwise they all suck!

It seems people's opinion vary as to what movie Sophia was most gorgeous in. My two cents.....I've never seen her more beautiful than in the silly fantasy, More than a Miracle, co-starring Omar Sharif. Words can't describe for me how absolutely gorgeous she was in that ridiculous film. Bought it through i-Tunes just to gawk at Sophia. She was just simply "stunning".....
