"Manchurian Candidate" was made in 1962 but was not showed because the assassination of president John F. Kennedy in 1963. It made its television debut in in September of 1965 on the CBS Thursday Night Movies. The movie starred Frank Sinatra as Major Bennett Marco, Laurence Harvey as Raymond Shaw, and Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Iselin.
The movie took place during the Cold War time period. After getting back from the Korean War, a group of men that were captured together begin to have the nightmare. Raymond Shaw was hypnotized by a Korean psychologist during a test. Throughout the movie, his hypnotizing trigger goes off by the Queen of diamonds. Meanwhile, his mother and step father are communist and have an evil plan.
I really liked the movie because you had to think about what was going on and you had to know about the Cold war and the Communist. The movie made me wonder what was gonna happen next in numerous scenes. I like history and the movie had some historical references in it so that made me like the movie even more.I like the plot twist in the end. I did not expect what happened in the end to happen.
