Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Noah R — 13 Aug 2008
This is one of the great films of all time. Frankenheimer is a genius director and knows how to framea shot. Angela Landsbury is fantastic as is Sinatra, Janet Leigh, Lawrence Harvey, James Gregory(fucking hysterical), etc, etc. Some great lines here, mostly by Landsbury ("You look as if your head were going to come to a point in the next thirteen seconds" and Gregory. Awesome scene at brainwashing session.
Films don't get much better than this.
