Manchurian Candidate (Vhs) *New* Mix Of and 50 similar items

Brand new factory sealed vhs tape in glorious B W. Full frame is perfect for old school TVs as the image will fill your square frame. Retro pop-n-go video also has no fussy menus to contend with. Contains exclusive interviews as a special feature like a dvd. The movie is closed captioned in case background noise makes it hard to hear the dialogue. Political thriller about an American Korean War vet who suspects that he and his platoon may have been brainwashed during the war, with his highly decorated, heroic friend programmed by commies to be an operational assassin. Loaded with shocks, conspiracy, inventive visual imagery, and bitter political satire of the gullable left and right. A young Angela Lansbury, made to look older, plays the mother of Laurence Harvey. Their actually the same age in real life! So convincing, she was nominated for the Academy Award. This movie was kept out of circulation for decades because of the Kennedy assassination. Frank Sinatra felt that this and the movie 'Suddenly' were to blame. He bought as many copies of the films as he could and had them destroyed. Only a handful of prints that were archived survived. Way better than the Denzel Washington re-make. Far more complicated making it worthy of multiple viewings. The brainwashing sequence is brilliantly disorienting, like something out of the Twilight Zone TV series.
