7.6.09: THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE

THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (United Artists, 1962))


dir. John Frankenheimer; starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Angela Lansbury

The Manchurian Candidate is a) awesome, and b) not noir. It's a great movie, but shouldn't have been on my list, really. I could do a big write up about what makes it not noir, but I already have one of those and frankly it wouldn't be productive or interesting to read. But it is a great movie and you should see it.

Also, never fall half-asleep while watching the last 15 minutes. You will wake up crazy.
