Featured review
the Iron Curtain
An American named Robert Anderson has been arrested by Hungary for spying. Jimmy Race (Dana Andrews) is a brash reporter from the New York Herald-Tribune in Paris. He and top reporter Jeanne Moray (Märta Torén) are trying to interview the Hungary ambassador. She has a story that the Hungary leadership is trying rapprochement with Yugoslavia's Tito despite Soviet objection. The Hungarian authority is keeping a close eye on her.
The story is a little slow at times. The movie seems more interested in getting the Cold War right. The Iron Curtain has descended and this is an almost straight forward telling. It's a story out of the headlines. It doesn't automatically make it a good story. Jimmy Race is overly brash to the point of arrogance. He should be smarter than that. The girl doesn't seem like the reporter type. I do like the rip from the headlines aspect but it could be done with more tension.
