Review of Torn Curtain (1966) by Conner R — 28 Apr 2010

I absolutely love Torn Curtain, itâ??s a perfect Cold War thriller from the master of suspense. It has everything you could ask for: beautiful sets, a perfect script and a plot that captures the era in a way you donâ??t usually see.

I think the pairing of Paul Newman and Julie Andrews was an unlikely, but extremely rewarding match. Itâ??s one of Hitchcockâ??s most underrated films and one of my absolute favorites. It still holds up today as being one of the most intelligently written and constructed period pieces, the paranoia of war is ever present.
