The Manchurian Candidate

This black and white thriller stars Frank Sinatra as a former military commander who sets out to uncover an assassination plot involving a fellow war veteran who may have been brainwashed by the enemy. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, John Frankenheimer crafts an incredibly suspenseful and surreal political nail-biter that remains as relevant today as it was over 60 years ago. Also starring Janet Leigh, Laurence Harvey, and Angela Lansbury in a memorable supporting turn.
