This film is a suspense plus thriller directed by the famous director Alfred Hitchcock . The film, as always, designs an empty political background and motivation, and then uses this as a starting point to create a complex network of characters to promote the tension of the plot. The film attaches great importance to the logic of character behavior, which makes the whole story move forward naturally with a clear boundary of one divided into three. In terms of photography, the film has also made some new attempts. Of course, as far as Hitchcock's film is concerned, the film may not have any breakthrough or innovation, but it is precisely because this is Hitchcock's film that there is no need for anything else. The film is starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. The film ranked third in the "Top 10 Hitchcock Movies".

"Spy is a hero in his own country, but he is a villain in enemy country. This is a dirty business." A spy war story about East and West Berlin, it is said that Hitchcock watched the British "Cambridge Five" defect to the Soviet Union Inspired by the news of the novel, many suspense are handled well, "MacGuffin" is quite clever, still surpassing many spy movies today. The last ballet performance was very refreshing. There are symmetrical elements such as boats and male and female protagonists embracing under the blankets at the beginning and end, and the director is still so controlling. Unfortunately, the dialogue lacks bright spots, it is said that due to the tight schedule of the actors, it was hurriedly filmed before it could be rewritten. The heroine is definitely a failure. It's not that the acting is bad, but that it's not a Hitchcock-style blond at all. It is said in the behind-the-scenes footage that Hitchcock didn't want to use her, and the producers thought it was good for the box office. Heath even worried that the audience would think she was going to sing a song anytime.

Although Paul Newman is still so good-looking, the film is really boring, not very nervous...
