Movie No. 6 (2013): TORN CURTAIN
Torn Curtain (1966)
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Paul Newman, Julie Andrews
Straight from an international convention in Copenhagen, held in a cruise ship (during the Cold War), American physicist Michael Armstrong flies to East Germany, where he's met by government representatives. Suspecting that Armstrong has defected to the other side, his fiancee follows him. What happens in East Germany is full of intrigue and suspense, just like in any Hitchcock movies, the director's trademark. This may not be among the great director's greatest works, but it's still worth-seeing, particularly if you're a fan of the director or of the genre.
