The reasessment of Hitchcock’s 1960’s work continues, begun with the incredible Marnie. (Torn Curtain may be a lost cause, however.) It’s handsome to say that Topaz benefits from this ongoing reconsideration. It’s objective a very wonderful movie.

The position follows an episodic but compelling arc along the journey of French cold-war scrutinize leaks. A number of satisfying (and inter-twining) sub-stories among the astronomical cast are well presented. The parallel infidelities of the Stafford/Robin husband and wife are arresting and key to ultimate position resolution. Some very nice “dwelling pieces” are included, the tent poles that benefit Hitchcock movies. I found the space photography to be both realistic and refreshing. The film’s main fault, of course, is the absence of a convincing ending. How Hitch believed that the “duel” ending would stand up is beyond me. I’m not positive how Uris ended his book.
Jarre’s music is almost droll, certainly in comparison with the monumental Herrmann. Topaz is a serious movie about serious themes (betrayal, top-notch versus substandard) and Jarre’s music does nothing to approach these themes.

Finally, Leonard Maltin’s commentary touches powerfully on Hitchcock’s directorial powers, the likes of which are few and far-between these days. Outside of maybe Soderberg and Tykwer, most modern-day directors have dinky belief of where to spot the camera, how to sequence images through cutting, et al. (Poster child of directorial ineptitude is Ron Howard who absolutely doesn’t have a clue.) Suffice it to say that Topaz is a very well directed movie that delivers visual style and meaning in spades.
THE MOVIE:
Topaz is one of those movies that when I discover it I hold checking the time to figure out how powerful longer I have to peek it. The reason is simple. There are some titanic scenes and there is an okay yarn but it takes to long to actually come by to the narrative. The movie picks up for me whem Frederick Stafford goes to Current York. I assume the movie could have included only a minute bit of the things that happened before since we are told that there is a defecting russian (Credits) . Then have the russian defector notify what he knows. Finally John Forsyth commissions Frederick Stafford in his hotel room and the movie starts like that. I would acquire other bits here and there out. It could have been a huge hour and 45 little movie! It would have had it’s problems but it would be scrumptious. (Many would disagree that so considerable could be taken out but this is my conception.) This brings me to —-
THE DVD:
I like that there is an uncut version on the dvd- the scrape is the SHORTER theatrical version should have also been included! It needed the trimming that was done for it’s theatrical release! Why didn’t they include both versions, or the theatrical version with a deleted scenes archive (prefferably both versions)? The fact that the un tightened version is all that is included adds to what was heinous with the film - even in it’s theatrical release. Once again I like the fact the uncut version is included but it shouldn’t be ALL that was included.
The documentary rocks. I enjoyed it. It isn’t the best documentary in the Universal Hitchcock dvd library but it rocks honest the same.
I like that they included the three different endings as well…
The trailer isn’t his best but is worth a glimpse as well.
The other extras are rather standard but it is nice to have them anyway.
