The Manchurian Candidate (1962): I picked up this DVD on sale... It's like I didn't even see it at the Mayfair however many years ago. I remembered the scene where Major Marco (Frank Sinatra) visits Shaw (Laurence Harvey) after the fight with Chunjin (Henry Silva), but that's about it.

I loved the brainwashing demonstration scene: the mixing of backgrounds, characters and voices; sometimes the portraits would be in the background, other times, the flowered wallpaper; sometimes ladies, other times, military. It was just a beautifully shot movie.

Huh, I didn't realize that this makes it two Frankenheimer movies almost back-to-back for me. Reading blogs at work? Click to escape to a suitable site!
