Torn Curtain is a 1966 American spy political thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. Written by Brian Moore, the film is set in the Cold War and concerns an American scientist who appears to defect behind the Iron Curtain to East Germany. While Hitchcock's long-time collaborator Bernard Herrmann composed a score for the film, it was ultimately rejected, marking the end of their working relationship which had spanned eight films. The film's final score was composed by John Addison.

Torn Curtain was released in the United States on July 14, 1966. Upon its release, the film was not well received by critics, who derided the plot and the pacing. The film was a financial success, grossing $13 million worldwide over its $3 million budget, but was ultimately considered a box office disappointment, given the popularity of its two lead actors.
