Eerie, shocking, daring, thrilling
and mesmerizing, The Manchurian Candidate will leave youbreathless
(People)! Featuring an all-star cast, including Angela Lansbury
in an OscarÂ(r)-nominated performance, this chilling and controversial
(Leonard Maltin) film may be the most sophisticated political satire
ever made (Pauline Kael). When a platoon of Korean War G.I.s iscaptured,
they somehow end up at a ladies garden club party. Or do they? Major
Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) can't remember. As he searches for
the answer, he discovers threads of a diabolical plot orchestrated
by the utterly ruthless Mrs. Iselin (Lansbury) and involving her
war hero son (LaurenceHarvey), her senator husband (James Gregory)
and a secret cabal of enemy leaders. |
