</tbody></table><p>Alfred Hitchcock's Cold War Thriller TORN CURTAIN brings back the auteur's use of teaming-up a man and woman for the best use of retaliation, which includes leading man Paul Newman but not his dutiful wife Julie Andrews: instead the real <i>she</i> is Carolyn Conwell as a Russian farmer's wife... </p><p>Who not only has more importance than her tractor-driving husband, Mort Mills, spouting exposition to Newman's American scientist, pretending to defect <i>within</i> Russia to get secret plans to take back Stateside...  <br>
<br>
But the good strong Russian woman helps Newman's Professor Michael Armstrong kill a seemingly impenetrable, solidly built Soviet henchman named Gromek, played by Wolfgang Kieling who, once he's out of the picture, it's all pretty much downhill, leaving the handsome, reluctant hero to deal with the film's weakest link: And in that, Julie Andrews basically stands around staring pale-eyed, hoping her husband isn't really doing what he's really not doing while she obstructs the overall suspense from its cinematic Master, only half-successfully covering new ground here (<a href="http://www.cultfilmfreaks.com/2020/08/topaz.html">TOPAZ</a> is a slight improvement).<br>

<u>HAWAII</u>: Max Von Sydow often played old men, even fifty years ago when he was young. He has not lost the game of chess with Death, yet, a nod to his central character in THE SEVENTH SEAL. He recently gave a scroll to catapult the new STAR WARS FORCE AWAKENS, and his most famous role is the title character in THE EXORCIST, where his wise Father Merrin tries and tries but just can't beat The Devil... <br>
<br>
Before that, he was Jesus Christ himself in THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. Yes, truly, Max Von Sydow has, religiously relating to the silver screen, from the top to the bottom of the rung, almost done it all: And wedged in-between those more famous turns is perhaps his most intense religious character, severe missionary Rev. Abner Hale, so desperately crazed from Yale to be sailed off to Hawaii to save every native "godless savage" soul, he just can't contain himself, yet at first he's unmarried. And with his personality, it's no surprise. Thus the awkward and not altogether visually perfect Sydow is a perfect fit for God but makes for an imperfect pair with the (always) lovely Julie Andrews, eventually becoming his missionary wife in Hawaii, long before it was the Hawaii we know today, and, although first billed from her small yet important number of giant roles including MARY POPPINS and THE SOUND OF MUSIC, it's Max's movie and almost his alone...<br>
