Editor's Notes

Note

Part of the Hitchcock Classics Collection Volume 3 alongside Rope, Topaz, Frenzy, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in a Cold War thriller that Hitchcock considered a misfire, though the East Berlin scenes have a visual weight that the 4K transfer brings out. Most collectors buy this inside the box set for $18-24 USD on Gruv sales.
