04/06/2004 Entry: "The Ginger Mayerson Fifty Films, 44/50 - The Manchurian Candidate"

In our ongoing series of The Ginger Mayerson Fifty Films, here is 44/50:

The Manchurian Candidate
Amazing and scary story amazingly and scarily told. However. Frank Sinatra is supposed to be great in this film, I thought he was a little annoying. Janet Leigh drives me nuts, she's like the non-singing (thank you God) version of Betty Hutton. Laurence Harvey is a GOD. Angela Landsbury and James* Gregory were made for each other. Strangely, this all ends up being one of my favorite films ever because everyone, annoying or not, is perfect in it. I've no idea how they did it, but they did. John Frankenheimer is such a great director, what the hell happened to his career?
The Manchurian Candidate, yes, I know, it's another Sinatra film, sorry.

EDIT100404: *Corrected by a reader! Yay! I do mean JAMES Gregory, not DICK. Thanks, Derek!

Um...I think you meant "James" Gregory in "The Manchurian Candidate." Somebody has probably already passed that typo on to you...

Anyway, really liked your list of 50 - would debate a few..but if that never happened, what would be the point of a list?

One of the best deals anywhere.

Donations to keep us going are very welome!

Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
