Not one of the best works by these two screen veterans but still worth a look in for Sophia alone. The woman has not aged at all. I like international espionage thrillers especially in the James Bond genre. The mixture of Pecks american know-how with Loren's continental sophistication together with the english precipitation seemed to make up for the flaws in an otherwise gripping story.Enough said. I wont give the story away except to state the clue at the end is in the hieroglyphic.
