Movie Info:

The name John Frankenheimer became forever synonymous with heart-in-the-throat filmmaking  when this quintessential sixties political thriller was released.  Set in the early fifties, the razor-sharp adaptation of the novel by Richard Condon concerns the decorated U.S. Army sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), who as a prisoner during the Korean War is brainwashed into becoming a sleeper assassin in a Communist conspiracy, and a fellow POW (Frank Sinatra) who slowly uncovers the sinister plot. In an unforgettable performance, Angela Lansbury plays Raymond's villainous mother, the controlling wife of a witch hunting anti-Communist senator with his eyes on the White House.  The rare film that takes aim at the frenzy of the McCarthy era while also being suffused with its Cold War paranoia, the Manchurian Candidate remains potent, shocking American moviemaking.  Criterion Collection
