This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss The Manchurian Candidate (1962). Near the end of the Korean War, a platoon of U.S. soldiers is captured and brainwashed. Following the war, the platoon returns home, and Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) is highly praised as a hero by the rest of his platoon. However, the platoon commander, Captain Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra), finds himself plagued by terrible nightmares and, together with fellow soldier Allen Melvin (James Edwards), races to uncover a horrible plot.
