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.

Yes.
Mr. Bridge was of what I seen his best role.
Nobody�s Fool was a nice picture, he had a second role in it, was it not?
Yes.
Hitch who was to sexually very...attracted must has been very unhappy with both of them...
But Hitch did always the same and the same film over and over again, and the roles also, just different lightning.
Shades off..
