Additional Information
TORN CURTAIN was Alfred Hitchcock's 50th film and signals a return to the espionage-romance theme the director showcased in such films as SECRET AGENT and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. Hitchcock created a distinct look for the film, subduing lighting and gauzing the lens to give a more natural, less studio-produced feel. Notably, it was the strength of studio influence that contributed another change in the look of the film relative to most Hitchcock pictures, casting leads that departed from traditional Hitchcock types. Paul Newman and Julie Andrews, both at the heights of their popularity when the film was released, anchor this cold war spy thriller. An American scientist (Newman) attends a convention in Copenhagen with his fiancee-assistant (Andrews). While there, she picks up a message meant for him and is drawn into a complex web of espionage behind the Iron Curtain that he had intended to face alone. Her presence throws all his plans into disarray, and the two lovers discover too late that it's easier to get in than to get out again. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Hitchcock shows his audience just how difficult murder can be when opposed by the will for survival.

  • That`s torn it.................

    I last saw this film over 20+ years ago,i seem to remember at the time that it was one of Hitchcock`s best films-sadly time has proved me-almost-wrong..Due to the success of the James Bond films Hitch wanted to make a spy film albeit less campy and darker than Bond.There is a full breakdown of the films behind-the-scenes on Wiki that can elaborate better than I can...As a spy film,it`s ok but as a Hitchcock film it`s pretty run-of-the-mill....but at least it`s better than Frenzy/Family Plot.

  • Gritty Hitch.

    A trip into Cubby Broccolli country for the master. I suppose once Hitch had been dragged into the sixties by the changing tide of film making, his own inimitable style was seen as old fashioned (although I don't know why - it was as sexy as could be) and thus he turned to the Bond franchise. Set in Cold War Berlin, this is a fast moving story, featuring a really sordid murder. It's really hard to kill a human being and he shows us this. All the motifs are here, complete with a heavily mutated Rheingold of Falling In Love Again.

  • Old Classic

    Introduced to this classic many years ago and watching it again was just as thrilling. No violence or swearing, just a lovely story

  • Torn Curtain Behind The Iron Curtain.

    Julie Andrews and Paul Newman, what else could you ask for ? I liked the fact that you have to constantly think ahead as to what may or may not happen in this espionage / love dual. I loved the old scenery, cars, buildings and set design. There is not much to dislike other than the fact that Paul Newman playing a professor was happy to string along his fiancee who was also his assistant, but the hardness of his actions towards her makes the plot more interesting. I decided to buy it because someone tore my curtains at my home in Harborne and the title reminded me of the damage! It was also priced very attractively and with the recent Japanese nuclear tragedy I thought I'd learn a little about the nuclear industry during the cold war period.
