His fiancee, Sarah ( Julie Andrews), follows him behind the Iron Curtain and finds there's more going on than Michael let on.
Michael Armstrong (Paul Newman) is an American physicist who defects to East Germany to help the Soviets, much to the shock of everyone in his life. His fiancee, Sarah ( Julie Andrews), follows him behind the Iron Curtain and finds there's more going on than Michael let on. Having the likes of Newman and Andrews in a Hitchcock film seems like a guaranteed hit, but this movie feels a bit underwhelming, likely due partially to the fact that Newman and Hitchcock reportedly did not get along during filming.
