Watched the original Manchurian Canadate last night on TCM. Not my first viewing. This is a 9 of 10 for me. Sinatra was at his movie carreer peak, and even through the ominously heavy atmosphere in this one , his charisma stands out. This is an excellently casted movie. Angela Lansbury is a totally menevolent menace . "Good old Inspector Luger" is tops. Every charactor no matter how small shines. Its a cold war era flick, but with a unique approach. Sinatra pulled this movie from circulation for decades after Kennedy was assinated. It became available again in the 90's IIRC. A classic that should be seen.
