Remembering Angela Lansbury

Angela Lansbury shocked movie goers with her maniacal, icy, and diabolical turn as the world's worst mother in writer-director John Frankenheimer’s masterpiece. Set in the early fifties, this razor-sharp adaptation of the novel by Richard Condon concerns the decorated U.S. Army sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), who as a prisoner during the Korean War is brainwashed into becoming a sleeper assassin in a Communist conspiracy, and a fellow POW (Frank Sinatra) who slowly uncovers the sinister plot. “One of the strangest and most mercurial movies ever made in Hollywood” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

Released: 1962
Run time: 126
