In Reply to: Torn Curtain- or my homage to Paul Newman-- posted by patrickU on October 2, 2008 at 13:09:43:
Watchable, but "just" barely. Notable for the scene in the farmhouse which illustrates how difficult it is to actually dispatch someone who does not want to go.
Not a great role for Newman IMO.
To judge his abilities and assets, I would choose Hud, The Hustler, Mr. & Mrs. Bridge, Nobody's Fool and/or Road To Perdition. More then just a pretty face IMO.
Torn Curtain is pretty tepid stuff. I even thought so when I saw it in theater when it was releases. I was a kid, went with my parents. I culdn't detect much chemistry between Andrews and Newman, then or now.
