Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Danny F — 29 Aug 2009
Great suspense noir and political satire about Cold War paranoia, with an all star cast including Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, and Angela Landsbury. A platoon of Korean War G.I.s is captured and brainwashed in Manchuria so that Harvey can serve as a robotic assassin to do the bidding of his handlers whenever he sees the Queen of Hearts.
Great suspense film with a surprise ending.
