'Torn Curtain' Rising

After watching Torn Curtain on the DVD, I had to then watch this chronicle of the making of it and the not-so-great reactions of both director Alfred Hitchcock and star Paul Newman to the script. They both had problems with it with Newman, especially, wondering about his character's motivations. This was the film that contributed to Hitch's breakup with usual collaborator composer Bernard Herrmann as the latter didn't follow his boss' instructions to the letter, possibly because of some mixup. The DVD provided some of Herrmann's scores on another bonus track and this documentary plays both Herrmann's and replacement composer John Addison's cues for the killing scene though Hitch eventually decided neither score would be used for that sequence. Another cut sequence involved the killed person's brother who was played by the same actor. Those scenes were only available as stills as it seems the actual sequence on film no longer exists. While the written narration acknowledges this particular film isn't a classic on the order of North By Northwest or other like films in Hitch's filmography, it says it's still entertaining enough of which I somewhat agree.
