Where to Watch The Manchurian Candidate
- Charles LondonFebruary 12, 2025Classic film from the Cold War era featuring Frank Sinatra in one of his best roles. In addition, Angela Landsbury gives perhaps the performance of her lifetime and that is saying a lot for an actress with her resume. If you are a classic film buff and you haven't seen this movie, what are you waiting for?
- CubaneJuly 5, 2025Yet more acting out of the lumber aisle of the hardware store, this time featuring Frank Sinatra for some reason. The plot is painfully contrived, and the movie's positive reception seems to rely heavily on its release being directly in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis, rather than on its own merits.
