Torn Curtain (1966)
Since Alfred Hitchcock had a penchant for icy blondes, it’s a puzzlement why he cast Julie Andrews in Torn Curtain, since she’s neither icy nor blonde. In any case, Julie Andrews tries to shed her sweet image in this Cold War complicated drama.
Julie is engaged to Paul Newman, and when she finds out he’s in cahoots with Germany, she has to decide whether or not to abandon him or stand by her man, even though he’s obviously been lying and hiding secrets for years.
To me, the most memorable scene in the film is when Paul Newman is giving a lecture on how to spot a liar in the interrogation room. He plays a tape for his audience and asks them what they notice. He points out that the man repeated his answers verbatim, which gave away his lie. Normally, people vary their language when telling the same story two or three times, but if a man uses the exact same words, he’s rehearsed it. I loved that scene. It was so interesting to me.
If you like Cold War films, this is a great one. The audience is constantly confused, wondering who the good and bad guys are, including the two leads!
