Hitchcock like this

Before watching this film, I just wanted to enjoy another Hitchcock's work. When the hero and heroine stepped off the plane and set foot on the land of East Germany, I suddenly realized that this film is a bit different from the previous work. Same.
Since Professor Armstrong received the telegram but denied that it was sent to himself, the doubts and nervousness began to fill Sarah's eyes a little bit, and people involuntarily raised a heart. When Sarah finally broke out and refused to answer the question of the East German professor, she burst into tears, but I was relieved, thinking that she would be suffocated if she didn't regret her love so much. It wasn't until the professor and his assistant and girlfriend were swimming desperately to the shore of Stockholm Harbor in the water that they were relieved. When the two of them were sitting in front of the fire in the port duty room under blankets, they suddenly felt relaxed. The ignorant reporter climbed into the box outside the window or something. He asked to take a photo through the glass. The actor covered himself and his lover with a blanket to show his refusal. From the beginning to the end, his purpose was not to be conspicuous. (Ironically, that old Czech ballet woman desperately wanted to attract attention, but she was repeatedly destroyed by the professor comrades. No wonder she hated her and never let go of every opportunity to expose him.) Then you realize that Xi After all, Ou Keke was still making a thrilling movie. The political emotions had been weakened by the dangerous scenes on their way out. The only dazzling thing was the scene of military police shooting machine guns on the street, which was a bit brutal.

In the film, seeing the maid in the hotel kneeling on the ground and scrubbing the floor (is it real, so exaggerated), Professor Armstrong's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and condemnation.
And the secret police are like a shadow, even more annoying than a fly. Once you grab the handle, the expression..., is this a masquerade? Why do spy agents or policemen representing the reactionary enemy in similar films at home and abroad have the same face?
Those "underground workers" who helped the professor seemed to be fulfilling their mission of justice, and even ordinary people were always ready to expose conspiracy and espionage.
The film presents East Germany as full of tension as Professor Armstrong's heart. This film was shot in 1966, and it is imaginative.
Such Hitchcock makes people feel so uncomfortable, because I did not expect to see these clear and even strong content. At first, the title didn't remind me too much, but after I learned the meaning of Iron curtain, it suddenly became a reality. He, almost there is a sense of hatred. The Cold War in those days and the gap between things were really terrifying. Even with such an entertainment film, the color is deep and solemn, which is completely different from the bright, lively and romantic beauty of the rear window or Catch the Thief, even when it is nervous.

Of course, the male and female protagonists still conform to the director's usual style and taste, seductive and proper acting. Julie Andrews was very beautiful when she was young, and she didn't know anything before. I like her hair style, oh, at the beginning of the article, her hair stylist's name was shown separately, which shows that she was in full swing back then.

    The same Cold War theme, this one is better than Topaz, the farmhouse killing is still inexplicably heart-wrenching; the real and fake bus scenes are also good; in short, the viewing is still good, but Paul Newman said - I will not work with that dead fat man anymore.
