TORN CURTAIN is mentioned briefly above. Anyone else seen it ???
I think it is an exciting suspense story, but I have problems with the morality. If you reverse the nationality of the characters,
would you accept or condemn the actions of the Paul Newman character??
There is a brutal murder (at the farm) which is extremely disturbing.
On the positive side, the scenes with LILA KEDROVA I found to be very moving. Her character had much of the same characteristic of the role
she played in ZORBA THE GREEK.
I'd enjoy hearing others reactions, whether in accord or contrary to mine.
Best wishes, Thomas.
