Movie Reviews of Torn Curtain
Movie Review: A failed cold war thriller from the Master
Summary: 2 Stars
"Torn Curtain" is one of the worst films Hitchcock ever made - a cold war thriller with no thrill.
Paul Newman (playing a U.S. rocket scientist Michael Armstrong) hated the script and he and Hitchcock were at loggerheads on the set. Julie Andrews is hopelessly miscast in a "serious" role as Armstrong's lover/assistant.
The nadir of the film is the killing of the evil Gromek, an excrutiatingly long scene in very poor taste.
"Torn Curtain" should be seen once by all Hitchcock completists but this film shows all the signs of a director who had lost touch with his audience.
