Review of Torn Curtain (1966) by Tim L — 03 Apr 2012
A few good scenes, but seems to lack the conviction of some of Hitchcock's best films. The easiest comparison in the style of this film to other Hitchcock films I've seen is North by Northwest, but it is a much less memorable affair than that film. I found it difficult to see Julie Andrews in a different enough way from Sound of Music or Mary Poppins, propably because of the era of the film rather than any fault on her part (I didn't have the same problem in '10' for example), and Paul Newman is handsome and suave, but lacks the punch or charm of other leading men from Hitchcock films like Cary Grant (North by Northwest) or Sean Connery (Marnie).
Watchable, with some good moments, but not one of his best.
