(The voice-over for the note is Jolie, which is somewhat confusing at first.) On a train to Venice, she meets a clueless American tourist from Wisconsin, Frank, played by Johnny Depp. Part of the fun of the story is that we don’t know who wrote the note, and part of the mystery-fantasy is a gradual revelation regarding who the unknown letter-writer is.
Part of the instruction says “…pick someone with my height and build and make them believe it is me…” She burns the note and makes her way to the central train terminal in Paris. While she is reading the note, we learn she is being staked out by some kind of government officials. A mysterious note is given to her and provides detailed instructions concerning exact steps she’s supposed to take right after leaving the café. A demure mystery woman (Jolie) arrives at a café in Paris near the Champs-Elysees and orders something, which we learn is already being prepared.
The viewer is plopped right into the middle of things without any background or knowledge. The best thing about the film in some ways is the opening. The action begins in Paris then moves to Venice. In “The Tourist”, Depp plays a Cary Grant-like character and Angelina Jolie has the long dark hair of Audrey Hepburn with the demureness of Grace Kelly. The classic films of this ilk which come to mind are “To Catch a Thief”, “Charade”, even “Roman Holiday”, taking place in Monte Carlo, Monaco, Paris, and Rome.
In several films during this era, Grant played an American in European exotic locales dealing with espionage in relatively light-hearted plots. “The Tourist” is very similar to some of the Hollywood escapist fair of the 1950’s and early 1960’s with the likes of Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

And there is a murder scene of unbelievable savagery that really left me shaken – excellent work here from Newman and Carolyn Conwell. This is also a memorable look at the Cold War at its height, and although the pro-West propaganda is a little thick at times, there is still a sense of the absurdity of the situation. And Lila Kedrova’s cameo is Oscar worthy. Julie Andrews and Paul Newman work really well together – a very sexy scene early in the film is a delight, filmed in extreme close-up. This hardly ever appears in the lists of the master’s best films, but it is a real gem – superbly acted, inventively filmed with great music, dialogue and plot.
