Description: " It may be the most sophisticated political thriller ever made in Hollywood " film critic Pauline Kael wrote of John Frankenheimer's terrifying 1962 political thriller about an American serviceman brainwashed in Korea and made into an assassin. Sophisticated to be sure it's also a headlong fall through the looking - glass of American politics and the most deeply prophetic film of the second half of the American century. As Greil Marcus reconstructs the drama The Manchurian Candidate is a movie in which the director and actors including Laurence Harvey Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury in an Academy Award - nominated performance were suddenly capable of anything beyond any expectations. This edition includes a new foreword highlighting the movie's terrifying contemporary relevance in the age of Trump and Russian interference in the US Presidential election.
