Alfred Hitchcock gives some lofty direction to Paul Newman during the filming of Torn Curtain (1966). Hitch's Cold War efforts weren't as successful as his films before (The Birds and back) and after (Frenzy) but Torn Curtain did have one hell of a kill scene in the farmhouse kitchen. Problem is it didn't have much else. Nothing else in the movie plays nearly as well as the murder scene so it's all downhill after that.
