The Dryden will screen the solidly good (if unbelievable) film The Manchurian Candidate (John Frankenheimer, U.S. 1962, 126 min., 35mm) as part of the Election Countdown series.

Laurence Harvey stars alongside Frank Sinatra and Janet Leigh in this classic political thriller. Director John Frankenheimer's masterful pacing and intense black-and-white photography depict a paranoid world of ideological brainwashing and political assassination during the Cold War.
