Extras:

• Torn Curtain Rising (SD, 32 minutes): "Ordinary and sluggish." That was just one of many criticisms leveled at Torn Curtain upon its original release, and "Rising" doesn't attempt to sidestep such harsh reactions. Instead, it tackles the film's reception head on, detailing its troubled development, rushed shoot, soundstage and location challenges, Hitchcock's resistance and uncertainty in casting Julie Andrews, his clashes with Paul Newman, filmmaking techniques that defied current trends, and Hitch and composer Bernard Herrmann's falling out. And yet the documentary retains a respect and appreciation for the movie and delivers a compelling argument for Curtain's value, even in the wake of classics like Vertigo and Psycho.
• Scenes Scored by Bernard Herrmann (SD, 14 minutes): View scenes with music cues and arrangements from Bernard Herrmann's original score (among them the murder sequence), composed before he was replaced by John Addison.
• Production Photographs (SD, 22 minutes): Movie posters, vintage ads, production photos and more.
• Theatrical Trailer (SD, 3 minutes)
