Frankenheimer's Monster

The Manchurian Candidate

      A-ha!   Now what's happening in the United States makes perfect sense!   Ladies and gentlemen, we now have our mission:  find Angela Lansbury.

      (Okay, the Frankenheimer film isn't exactly a verbatim translation of Richard Condon's book-- the new film with Denzel Washington claims, though, that it will be closer-- but do you honestly think any of this cadre would read the book rather than see the film?   I thought not.   Besides, the original film is a classic.)
