Movie Reviews of The Manchurian Candidate (Special Edition)
Movie Review: I love this movie. It is the finest, most awe-inspiring film I've ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh yeah, very well done. If you love a good conspiracy thriller, this like War of the Worlds, really freaked people out b/c it made them think it was possible. Bottom line: must see.
Summary of The Manchurian Candidate (Special Edition)
You will never find a more chillingly suspenseful, perversely funny, or viciously satirical political thriller than The Manchurian Candidate, based on the novel by Richard Condon (author of Winter Kills). The film, withheld from distribution by star Frank Sinatra for almost a quarter century after President Kennedy's assassination, has lost none of its potency over time. Former infantryman Bennet Marco (Sinatra) is haunted by nightmares about his platoon having been captured and brainwashed in Korea. The indecipherable dreams seem to center on Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), a decorated war hero but a cold fish of a man whose own mother (Angela Lansbury, in one of the all-time great dragon-lady roles) describes him as looking like his head is "always about to come to a point." Mrs. Bates has nothing on Lansbury's character, the manipulative queen behind her second husband, Senator John Iselin (James Gregory), a notoriously McCarthyesque demagogue. --Jim EmersonA Korean war hero is brainwashed and used as a tool in a political assassination plot to be triggered by his domineering mother.
