268 Torn Curtain (1966)
- DIRCAMEO(Alfred Hitchcock): early in the film sitting in a hotel
lobby with a baby on his knee.
- The scene where Gromek is killed was written to show how difficult
it really can be to kill a man.
- 'Keith Waterhouse' (qv) and 'Willis Hall' (qv) did extensive (uncredited)
rewrites on the script.
- 'Bernard Herrmann' (qv) wrote the original score, but Universal Pictures
executives convinced Hitchcock that they needed a more upbeat score.
Hitchcock and Herrmann had a major disagreement, the score was dropped and
they never worked together again.
