neutral · AI labelView post →“I regret to inform you,” I told my husband whilst watching Torn Curtain, “that I will be making a fourth drink.” But first: one of the most intense scenes in any Hitchcock movie ever. I needed this 44 Mai Tai after that.

positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching TORN CURTAIN (1966). Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Paul Newman, Julie Andrews. Picture #49 (of 53) in my complete Hitch rewatch may be star-powered, but isn't particularly top tier (except for Newman shirtless). After 11 months, only 4 more films to go! Been a journey. #filmsky 📽

(2015), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), Callan: The Movie (1974), Torn Curtain (1966) and The Ipcress File (1965)

After a long break she appeared a last time in Alfred Hitchcock's "Torn Curtain" (1966) having been in his German production Mary(1931).

Elmer Bernstein was hired to arrange, adapt & conduct Bernard Herrmann’s original score from the 1962 film for the remake. Bernstein also integrated unused cues that Herrmann had originally composed for Alfred Hitchcock’s film TORN CURTAIN.

neutral · AI labelView post →Random film memory - the blackboard scene in Torn Curtain where an American physicist/double agent played by Paul Newman tricks his East German counterpart into revealing the math behind a new bomb. Fun scene to watch! filmfanatic.org?p=19518
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Torn Curtain from Alfred Hitchcock. Maybe the weakest movie I’ve seen from Hitch yet, felt like the script had more potential in it. #filmsky #movies 📽️🎬 #Letterboxd #physicalmedia

neutral · AI labelView post →TORN CURTAIN is a minor Hitchcock film, but the scene where leading man Paul Newman kills the E German agent Gromek, aided by a farmer's wife, is my favorite messy amateur fight (Gromek is a pro; the others are not). Hitchcock said he wanted to show how hard it is to kill someone & how long it takes
neutral · AI labelView post →(And yes, Marnie felt very 70s-Hitchcock. Unlike Torn Curtain, which I also watched recently, and which felt like a misbegotten attempt to make a 50s-Hitchcock movie with a 60s cast.)

neutral · AI labelView post →Brian Moore wrote the screenplay for Torn Curtain, 1965 "I told Hitch one day that my father was a doctor, and that I knew death was often a long and painful business. People didn’t always die as quickly as they did in movies."

neutral · AI labelView post →Easily my fave Hitchcock film! I still have a number of his films left to see (just got around to Torn Curtain and Rope this year, which I LOVED). But yeah, it feels like Rear Window is at once his most accessible AND most entertaining. If you make any other discoveries of his, I hope you dig 'em!
neutral · AI labelView post →When Hitchcock visited Jerusalem in 1966, he had an Israeli state-sponsored film crew in tow. Iddo Better Pocker's video essay BEHIND THE CURTAIN cleverly splices that propaganda film with Hitchcock's Torn Curtain, blurring the line between fiction and fact. Published by @intransition.bsky.social

Kieling witnessed firsthand the Watts Rebellion of 1965, which disillusioned him with West German support of the US... 2/3

neutral · AI labelView post →Last night’s movie 🎬 was Alfred Hitchcock’s Torn Curtain. It was a blue-eye overloaded thriller with Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. Not your typical Hitchcock, but the wife and I really enjoyed it. #alfredhitchcock #moviesky #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →This is becoming like an Alfred Hitchcock film only a real world version of Torn Curtain. Specifically the best scene in said film, the suspenseful bus ride scene.
neutral · AI labelView post →Torn Curtain. Good movie, great song.

unlabelledView post →Thinking of watching Hitchcock's 1960s output (film) in my SHOCKtober viewing. Maybe part of my Thimble Theater Saturday film club viewing for October. Never saw TORN CURTAIN or TOPAZ. 5 Saturdays. 5 movies.
unlabelledView post →Hitchcock firing Bernard Herrmann mid-production on Torn Curtain because he wanted a "pop" sound instead of that iconic, haunting score? Still one of the messiest breakups in movie history. Talk about a dramatic exit. 🎬✂️
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Torn Curtain After watching Rope and The Man Who Knew Too Much, I decided I should watch all of the movies in the Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray boxset. Next up is the only Hitchcock film to feature Mary Poppins herself, Julie Andrews.
unlabelledView post →But no Hitchcock film is uninteresting. Even a bad film like Torn Curtain has some incredibly great moments...
unlabelledView post →Last Night's movie was Alfred Hitchcock's "Torn Curtain" The surprise standout character was Countess Kuchinska who is trapped behind the Iron Curtain in the mid 60s. her only dream is to immigrate to the United States but she needs a sponsor www.imdb.com/title/tt0061...
unlabelledView post →Inspire by @rememberthispod.bsky.social I finally watched Torn Curtain, Topaz, and Frenzy. I'd now have to go back to WW2 to find a Hitchcock movie I haven't seen before. Torn Curtain - good, but I don't need to see it again. Topaz - least of these 3, but I will rewatch. Frenzy - best of these 3.
unlabelledView post →I finally watched "Torn Curtain", a late Hitchcock film that is generally considered a failure. Much to my surprise, I thought it was a lot of fun! Paul Newman and Julie Andrews were clearly miscast and have zero chemistry, but... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torn_Cu...
unlabelledView post →With Torn Curtain in ‘66, she is probably the only actor whose worst film was the Hitchcock one (And even then, it’s not a bad movie)
unlabelledView post →Ikkje ein dårlig film på lista, Torn Curtain og Marnie har sine øyeblikk. Rope har eg alltid hatt eit spesielt forhold til. The Lady Vanishes digga eg enormt. Ufattelig bra filmografi.
unlabelledView post →Torn Curtain and Frenzy are well worth your time. topaz is a film of missed opportunities Family plot is a comic throw-off, but hey, it is Bruce Dern and Barbara Harris, so there's plenty of redeeming value
unlabelledView post →Wrote some words about TORN CURTAIN for the hell of it - a fascinatingly inert late period film for Hitchcock, that nevertheless contains some of his most indelible individual sequences.
unlabelledView post →Every time I watch Torn Curtain I find something new to love about it. (But then, that's probably true of almost every Hitchcock film! I don't think it's true of The Birds because I've seen that one so many times I've noticed every little thing about it! 😃)
unlabelledView post →When I saw this movie as a kid I did not find it scary in any sort of way. I did find Janet Leigh's fate surprising though. Now I watch it as a work of film art. Later Hitchcock films, "Topaz", "Torn Curtain", and "Family Plot", were disappointing - entertaining but were definitely lacking.
unlabelledView post →That's hilarious! I wonder who wrote the blurb? Newman was with Poitier in "Paris Blues," and with Andrews in "Torn Curtain," but Redford was never in a film with either Poitier or Andrews, so far as I know. Pity ... I would have watched that movie ....
unlabelledView post →youtube.com/shorts/Vi01c... JULIE ANDREWS Torn Curtain #movies #film #cinema alfredhitchcock #actors
unlabelledView post →Exactly not everyone will do great stuff all the time. Like Hitchcock after Marnie did decline but even then I think Topaz is a very interesting film, Frenzy is very good and Family Plot is charming. Torn Curtain sucks but it has a great murder scene.
unlabelledView post →Perhaps one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most contemplative spy movies, 1966s TORN CURTAIN was designed to be the anti-James Bond story, but did it live up to its potential? Find out now as we decode the film and it’s history: pod.fo/e/1e3809
unlabelledView post →Our reverse-chronological Hitchcock movie review has reached Torn Curtain. 1966 movie. Distracted by the fact that Julie Andrews has grandma hair
unlabelledView post →I'm aiming for Japanese dubs of classic films mostly like North by Northwest (the film I aim to watch with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 on the morning of it's release), Rear Window (Jimmy Stewart), Torn Curtain (Paul Newman classic).
unlabelledView post →It's a solid Cold War spy thriller and legit good as a genre pic and not just as a Bond movie. (And no, that's not faint praise: it's better than most of Hitchcock's contributions to the genre, just off the top of my (recently having watched Torn Curtain and rewatched Topaz) head.)
unlabelledView post →It is a great film. A few here I already have on DVD, but looking forward to the later ones such as Topaz, Torn Curtain & Frenzy.
unlabelledView post →Watched Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (1935). A fun and silly romantic spy romp. Like Torn Curtain the climactic end scene happens in a theater (It almost seemed like Hitchcock was going to use the same plot device).
unlabelledView post →I watched Torn Curtain, a Hitchcock movie I don’t think I’ve seen before. It tore me apart with suspense! (Actually the bus scene was quite stressful.)
unlabelledView post →Finally got to Torn Curtain, and I think I'm up to 17 Paul Newman movies, and that's not counting that I've seen Silent Movie (cameo) and large chunks of Exodus. Didn't realize it, but not sure I have anyone with more.
unlabelledView post →#100 (!): My ★★½ review of Torn Curtain on @letterboxd.social boxd.it/82Crdz
unlabelledView post →Torn Curtain was Hitchcock's 50th film; he didn't want Paul Newman & Julie Andrews; Universal forced the issue, to provide box office insurance. Julie accepted for the opportunity to work with the master. While she has quipped that all she had to do was look glamorous I felt she was very effective!
unlabelledView post →The murder in Torn Curtain. I haven’t seen the film in decades, but this scene has stayed with me while the rest has evaporated.
