Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Cindy I — 06 Jan 2008
A thriller with Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Harvey, about brainwashing of American soldiers during the Korean War. Soldiers of one unit are all having the same nightmare that may or may not be connected to their service time.
Angela Landsbury is chilling as the power-hungry mother of Lawrence Harvey (in reality only 3 years older than him) who will stop at nothing to get her husband in the White House. A scary, thought-provoking view of political power.
This couldn't really happen though...right?
