The Manchurian Candidate Review

Janet Leigh comes in out of nowhere and starts talking mad nonsense like some sorta anachronistic Lorelai Gilmore doing a Grouch Marx impression. Amazing. Too bad she doesn't have anything else to do in the movie.

Great performances from Laurence Harvey and Angela Lansbury. Bold direction from Frankenheimer, especially for '62. Though with how incompetent the army seems in this movie, it's no wonder Kennedy got assassinated one year later.
