from Sibling Cinema · host Bonnie and Dennis

This week we jump ahead to 1969, one of Alfred Hitchcock's last movies, Topaz. Based on the Leon Uris novel that itself is loosely based on events leading up to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the film features a French agent who tries to uncover Cold War developments in the US, Cuba, and France. Details: A Universal Picture released 12/19/1969. Produced and Directed by Hitchcock. Screenplay by Samuel Taylor, based on Leon Uris’ novel. Starring Frederick Stafford, Dany Robin, John Vernon, Karin Dor, Claude Jade, Michel Subor, Philippe Noiret, Roscoe Lee Brown, and John Forsythe. Cinematography by Jack Hildyard. Score by Maurice Jarre. Ranking: 35 out of 52. Ranking movies is a reductive parlor game. It’s also fun. And it’s a good way to frame a discussion. We aggregated over 70 ranked lists from critics, fans, and magazines Topaz got 955 ranking points.
