Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Lucas Q — 09 May 2008
Brainwashing and the red scare combine for this mind twisting and gripping thriller about Raymond Shaw and his shady memories. Frank Sinatra gives his best film performance and Laurence Harvey is well cast as Raymond.
Angela Lansbury steals the show though with her evil personified performance as Raymond?s power hungry mother. It is worth a watch for the card sequence alone.
