Mirage and Arabesque are romantic thrillers patterned after Charade. Mirage also pays homage to Spellbound as amnesiac Peck tries to figure out what happened to him while he's being chased around New York City. Arabesque, which costars Sophia Loren, is more of an international "wrong man on the run" chase thriller similar to North by Northwest.
Captain Newman MD is a good psychiatric movie that featured Bobby Darin's best performance (and only Oscar nomination).
If you don't already have Cape Fear or Mockingbird, this one is a definite pickup. If you've got both of them it's kind of iffy. I've got Cape Fear but not Mockingbird so I'll get this one if it's at a decent price.

DVDBeaver review. I wish all box sets had slim cases.
I do like Arabesque, even though Peck is miscast in this. At that time of his life, he just couldn't pull off the physicality needed for the role. Another Cary Grant / Sophia Loren pairing would have been a real winner. IIRC, Peck even told Loren to stop running so fast as he had a hard time keeping up with his bad leg.
I'll wait for the eventual single film release of this or wait for Blu-Ray.

I hope they release these separately. I saw part of Mirage on TV years ago and have been dieing to see the whole thing since.
