	DVD Verdict Review - Torn Curtain
		Torn Curtain was the next film Alfred Hitchcock directed after his box office bomb Marnie (and the first without music collaborator Bernard Herrmann).
		Torn Curtain also lacks the fl humor that is usually present in most Hitchcock pictures (or at least the ones that I have seen).
		Torn Curtain is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio and is anamorphic.

	TMe: Torn Curtain Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Torn Curtain was Hitchcock’s 50th film (released in 1966) yet one of his lesser known outings, despite the casting of American heartthrob Paul Newman and the multi-talented Julie Andrews.
		While Torn Curtain may not be up to the level of his greatest, it is a film in which the suspense is maintained, the pacing is brisk, and there’s a few prime sequences that reflect the director at his best.
		Torn Curtain is a lightweight espionage thriller that has some tense, memorable moments but as a whole seems to flounder.

	DVD Review - Torn Curtain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		"Torn Curtain" stars Paul Newman as Dr. Armstrong, a United States scientist who has defected to East Germany to work on a defense system against nuclear attack, a project his American homeland has ceased funding.
		Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, "Torn Curtain" could benefit from the same re-mastered treatment that some of the other Hitchcock DVD’s like North by Northwest and Vertigo have been given, but overall it’s not bad.
		"Torn Curtain" is half of a really good movie that flashes signs of Hitchcock’s brilliance, but unfortunately never quite gets around a less than stellar script.

	DVDlaunch: Torn Curtain review
		Alfred Hitchcock's 50th feature film, "Torn Curtain," is quite a departure from his normal blend of mystery and suspense, and not altogether a successful one.
		The original documentary, "Torn Curtain Rising" features some interesting stills of unused scenes, but is narrated more as a film student's senior thesis than most "making of" documentaries.
		"Torn Curtain" is most assuredly a mixed bag from a gifted director, a film with a limited appeal, though it was one of Universal's highest grossing films of 1967.

	BHS: Review: Torn Curtain
		Torn Curtain (1966) became the end of a ten year long relationship between the composer Bernard Herrmann and director Alfred Hitchcock.
		At the recording of Torn Curtain Hitchcock was dissatisfied with the composition Herrmann had made and Hitchcock fired him immediately.
		Despite the fact that John Addison had to do a few instrumental arrangements on the vocal theme his music is a combination of dark and low style against a dramatic "chase"-cue with among others military snare drums.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Torn Curtain (1966)
		Torn Curtain, Alfred Hitchcocks' fiftieth film, is unfortunately anything but a culmination of the work of the famous suspense film director.
		Torn Curtain, a lightweight espionage thriller, has some tense, wondrously memorable moments masterfully put together -- but they don't fit together very well to make a cohesive whole.
		I recommend Torn Curtain to the director's fans, for there are moments when Hitchcock's mastery of the medium shine through, but I don't recommend it to anyone else.

	ABC Radio National: Torn Curtain - The Secret History of the Cold War
		Torn Curtain is a ground-breaking new four-part series on Radio National's Hindsight.
		Complementing these sources on both sides of the Iron Curtain are the first-hand accounts of former spies, senior intelligence officials, politicians and diplomats.
		Torn Curtain synthesises these new insights into an alternative, iconoclastic narrative of cold war history – based on hard evidence from formerly secret sources.

	The DVD Journal: Torn Curtain
		But in the '60s, Hitch slowed down considerably (born in 1899, he was in his sixties himself), reaching a pinnacle with Psycho in 1960, followed by 1963's The Birds and Marnie in 1964.
		The plot is formulaic spy stuff: Paul Newman plays Michael Armstrong, a physicist who defects to East Germany so he can work on his rocket project, for which funding has been cancelled in the U.S. His assistant/girlfriend, an uncomfortable-looking Julie Andrews, pluckily decides to stand by her man and follows him uninvited to East Berlin.
		Torn Curtain itself is directed in the haphazard manner of a director who really doesn't give a damn, with some scenes gorgeously constructed and plotted in classic Hitchcock fashion, while others feature astoundingly horrible rear-projection shots and pedestrian editing.

	Amazon.com: Torn Curtain (1966): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The suspense of Torn Curtain is by nature not as thrilling as that in the average Hitchcock film--much of it involves sitting still and wondering if the bad guys are getting closer.
		TORN CURTAIN was a film which Hitchcock never wanted to make; he still owed Universal one more film under his contract and was waiting for the right story to come along.
		Perhaps it is a comment on the pathos of those trapped inside the Iron Curtain, or perhaps Hitchcock is simply amusing himself with comic relief, or relieving himself, as it were, of responsibility for this film.

	DVD Times - Hitchcock Collection: Torn Curtain
		The problem is that once it’s over, nothing else in the film begins to match it and the dreariness of the rest of the film is thrown into relief.
		Torn Curtain looks ugly, shot with little imaginative flair by John F. Warren whose lighting is peculiarly lacking in any sense of tension or atmosphere.
		Otherwise, Laurent Bouzereau’s documentary Torn Curtain Rising is a tedious plod through the making of the film which doesn’t tell you anything of any great interest and steers away from much of the sheer negativity which apparently blighted the set from day one.

	SoundtrackNet : Torn Curtain Soundtrack
		It is unfortunate that such a wonderful association and friendship would be utterly decimated over a film.This film, TORN CURTAIN, would be the final collaboration between Hitchcock and Herrmann - but it wouldn't even survive to see its completion.
		But Herrmann had finished writing the score, and now, 32 years after it was written, the complete unused score to TORN CURTAIN has been released on CD.
		Sadly, this is a case where the score works better in the film than as music to listen to - but it wasn't used in the film, and as such is hard to listen to at all.

	Amazon.co.uk: Torn Curtain [1966]: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The film centers around Michael Armstrong (Paul Newman) and Sarah Sherman venturing behind the Iron Curtain, as Sarah beleives that Newman is deffecting to the Germans after the American government shut down his project.
		This is a decent thriller which is held back by the fact that you know that Newman is capable of much more in acting terms and you expect Hitchcock to be a genius every time he walks behind the camera.
		Like most Hitchcock films, I think that Torn Curtain needs to be seen at least twice to be fully appreciated.

	Torn Curtain (1966) at Reel Classics: a review
		In this spy thriller, Julie Andrews and Paul Newman play two American nuclear scientists walking the wall between East and West during the Cold War.
		Like all Hitchcock films, TORN CURTAIN has its fair share of suspense, and it is that quality that earns this film as high a ranking as it receives.
		However, when compared with other Hitchcock films of this period, it leaves something to be desired.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Torn Curtain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Certainly there was 1960's Psycho and The Birds in 1963, but 1965's Marnie tanked, to be followed by Torn Curtain a year later.
		But a scene where Newman tricks the German scientist into giving up his secrets through a sort of "dueling formula scribbling" is unbelievably tedious, and Newman and Andrews' attempt to escape by bus into West Berlin may be one of the most excruciatingly boring "climactic" ten minutes in cinematic history.
		The film is no masterpiece, but the 30-minute documentary "Torn Curtain Rising" offers a detailed history of the production of the film.

	"Torn Curtain" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		A pair of American research scientists, Michael Armstrong and Sarah Sherman (Paul Newman and Julie Andrews), end up behind the Iron Curtain (a nickname for the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states), dealing in the secrets of antimissile defense technology.
		There's not much more I can say without revealing major plot points; one of the few suspense elements is the question of who's on whose side.

		And in the big escape from Leipzig, Hitchcock shows that it would take another 28 years, with "Speed", for a bus to be used as a dramatic intensifer.
		Despite what its defenders claim, "Torn Curtain" is a failure; only the incomprehensible "Topaz" is worse.
		Its not just that this Cold War story seems especially moldly today; but what really kills it is the lack of any apparent conviction by anyone involved.
