In our final “Mother's May” episode, we explore what may be the most psychologically disturbing maternal figure in film history - Angela Lansbury as Eleanor Shaw Iselin in “The Manchurian Candidate”, a brilliantly prescient political thriller that resonates as strongly today as it did in 1962 release.
The Manchurian Candidate (UA, 1962)
Starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh and Angela Lansbury.
Screenplay by George Axelrod based on the book by Richard Condon
Directed by John Frankenheimer
