JUN 15 · FIGHTING TYRANNY FILM FEST
The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
A film by John Frankenheimer
w/ Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh
Rated PG13
2hr 6min
Near the end of the Korean War, a platoon of U.S. soldiers is captured by communists and brainwashed. Following the war, the platoon is returned home, and Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) is lauded as a hero by the rest of his platoon. However, the platoon commander, Captain Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra), finds himself plagued by strange nightmares and, together with fellow soldier Allen Melvin (James Edwards), races to uncover a terrible plot.
With our country lurching ever closer to joining the “New World Order” mentality, a possible cold war, and many American voters embracing communist and socialist ideals and platforms, “The Manchurian Candidate” has never been more vital and relevant.

Stealing the show is Oscar-nominated Angela Lansbury as Harvey's mother -- monstrous, manipulative and completely power-crazed, she is an unforgettable creation.
