KPFA Movie Matinee Presents:

The Manchurian Candidate

Join us for a special screening of the political thriller The Manchurian Candidate starring Frank Sinatra, on Saturday, Nov. 23rd at 3pm! This Cold War Classic tells the story of a platoon of U.S. soldiers captured by communists and turned into brainwashed sleepers, near the end of the Korean War.

The Manchurian Candidate screens at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland with a post-movie discussion led by Letters and Politics host Mitch Jeserich.

The Manchurian Candidate was released in the United States on October 24, 1962, at the height of U.S.–Soviet hostility during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was well-received by critics and was nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actress (Angela Lansbury) and Best Editing. Directed and produced by John Frankenheimer with a screenplay written by George Axelrod based on the 1959 Richard Condon novel.
