 |  |  |  |  | The Manchurian Candidate   |  |  |  |  |  |  Part of the series Closely Watched Films, hosted by Elliot Kalan.
 "The second in CWF's unofficial "Movies Denzel Washington Should Have Stayed Away From" Mini-Series!
Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) and his men return from Korea plagued by dreams of death and women's flower clubs. Captain Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) needs to find out why and the less you know from this point on, the better. Just sit back, let the film unfold and watch Angela Lansbury revel in evil.
John Frankenheimer's Manchurian Candidate is an intricately built puzzle-box mystery concealing a brilliant satire and featuring the most bizarre first date on film. One of America's greatest films, alternately funny and frightening, as close as we'll ever get to the secret paranoid history of the Cold War.
Host Elliott Kalan will discuss the near-perfection of this movie's construction, its tragically accurate prophecy and why the remake was dumb as mud."
Director: John Frankenheimer. 126 min. 1962. 35mm. |  |
