Monthly meeting of the Mainstream Film group. If the group is restarted as hoped, in August we shall show the 1966 American spy political thriller film Torn Curtain, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews.

Professor Michael Armstrong is heading to Copenhagen to attend a physics conference accompanied by his assistant and fiancée Sarah Sherman. Once arrived however, Michael informs her that he may be staying for awhile and she should return home. She follows him and realizes he's actually heading to East Germany. She follows him there and is shocked when he announces that he's defecting to the East after the US government cancelled his research project. In fact, Michael is there to obtain information from a renowned East German scientist. Once the information is obtained, he and Sarah now have to make their way back to the West.

Running time 2 hours 8 minutes.
