About this product

Product Information

John Frankenheimer's brilliant adaptation of Richard Condon's Cold-War satire, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is the director's best film, both a coruscating thriller and a razor-sharp satire of political hysteria that captures the turbulent mood of the 1960s. Packed with sly details, such as the liberal senator "bleeding" milk when he's shot, the film demands repeated viewings.Laurence Harvey stars as Sergeant Raymond Shaw, whose U.S. army unit is captured while fighting in Korea, taken to Manchuria, and brainwashed by Chinese communists. The men return to the U.S. with no conscious memory of their experience, and Shaw is awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery. But when Captain Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) starts having nightmares, he begins an authorized investigation into what happened in Manchuria and eventually reveals that the sergeant's brainwashing has transformed him into an unconscious assassin who can be triggered by his communist controllers at will. Although Sinatra is slightly miscast as a tortured intellectual, Harvey and the remaining cast are excellent, as is Richard Sylbert's inventively designed "brainwashing" sequence, Lionel Lindon's extraordinary depth-of-field camerawork, and David Amram's witty, neoclassical score.

    Self-explanatory and fully comprehensible.

    AWESOMELY acted. Dame Angela Lansbury is just incredible in her role, considering she was so young playing such an older woman. Her stern sincerity of character really stole the entire show and truly made it the huge hit that it became.

  • A real classic, bar none

    This is a classic everyone should see, especially in this day and time. A real plus is the cast - actors who were reaching their prime. It's great to see them at their "infancy" knowing their aftermath. Glad you had it. Glad now I do.

  • Great movie!

    Thought the movie was quite good. Saw the new version and wanted to see the original. In black and white, but still a good movie. We are seniors so this makes a difference I"m sure.

  • Very good not excellent

    Transfer is decent, but I suspect the studio has trimmed the sides a bit. Sound is also good but not outstanding. Overall pretty good for a dvd.
