The Manchurian Candidate (Special Edition) door John Frankenheimer
A slow, insipid beginning slowly morphs into a juggernaut of a psyco-espionage thriller. Sinatra is electric. Angela Lansbury is titan (she had me staggered). Frankenheimer helms your attention with interesting choices. “Manchurian Candidate” is a racist/anti-communist fiction from the Korean War, based on notions of Oriental despotism, Western individualism vs Eastern collectivism, & anti-immigrant anxieties over infiltration/espionage. This is something!
Well made, in a 1950s style, with humour that feels more disturbing by today's standards. Nice musical background, and a good pace. We hadn't seen Marilyn Monroe before and were quite impressed although it was very hard to understand the strong Southern accent she used as 'Cherie' in this film.
I didn't like the rodeo scenes at all, which did not look at all pleasant for the animals concerned, and I thought the hero (Don Murray) was not just naive and ignorant, but unpleasantly arrogant too; I thought the ending forced and unlikely, despite being rather predictable.
But it made a good light evening's viewing. The rating U is misleading as it's really not suitable for children.

2023 movie #179. 1954. After 8 years of marriage tax lawyer Bob (Lemmon) and TV writer Nina (Holliday) get divorced but find they still really love each other. This movie made me laugh out loud, what more can you ask for from a comedy? Judy Holliday is just brilliant.
