#THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE BY RICHARD CONDON MOVIE#
The 1962 movie starred Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, who was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress. Booktopia has The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon. The Manchurian Candidate was made into a movie twice, once in 1962 and again in 2004. Two tender love stories provide an undercurrent theme: the powers of light against the powers of dark. Condon's best-selling works include The Manchurian Candidate and the Prizzi series, dealing with the life of a crime family in New York. What follows is at once a spy story, a love story, and a sobering yet outrageously funny satire on demagoguery in American politics. In a farcical, uproarious scene, he is greeted amid flashbulbs and frock coats by his power-hungry, domineering mother and her politician husband, who have decided to use Shaw's fame to further their own unscrupulous ambitions.
Shaw returns from the Korean War to an idolizing and unsuspecting country. Full blue cloth binding, with white lettering on spine and '12401' stamped in white at the lower right corner of the rear cover. This classic of Cold War paranoia is one of the most dazzling and enduring products of an unforgettable time.īuried deep within the consciousness of Sergeant Raymond Shaw is the mechanism of an assassin, a time bomb ticking toward explosion, controlled by the delicate skill of its Communist masters.
