A tour de force for Lansbury. <br />She is also wonderful in "State of The Union", "Gaslight" and "Picture of Dorian Gray"<br />Sinatra and Harvey great also.<br /><br />Mercurie is correct all around on this review.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773353395474179522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-41180446296569777052009-08-24T19:18:26.664-05:002009-08-24T19:18:26.664-05:00I saw The Manchurian Candidate as a kid (probably ...I saw The Manchurian Candidate as a kid (probably one of the times it was on NBC) and I was blown away. When I first saw it as an adult though, I was better able to understand the intricacies of its plot. It is such a complex movie that works on so many levels. Mrs. Iselin is still my favourite Angela Lansbury character!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-83017900283902656602009-08-24T10:48:28.100-05:002009-08-24T10:48:28.100-05:00Great post Mercurie!

She was superb in this movie and did a great job playing a truly evil role.<br /><br />I think what I enjoy about this film the most is it's complexity. You can really sink your teeth in to it.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-25751554219543784572009-08-23T07:49:17.606-05:002009-08-23T07:49:17.606-05:00I agree the original version, is head shoulders ab...I agree the original version, is head shoulders above the remake. It proves to me that new technology and modern camera tricks, are no substitute for a story well told and well directed.Holte Enderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356437917387847542noreply@blogger.com
