History has kind of lost sight of the fact that Frank Sinatra was a well-regarded actor. Even ignoring his musicals, Ol’ Blue Eyes put together a pretty solid filmography – he won Best Supporting Actor for From Here to Eternity! He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for The Man with the Golden Arm! He was a convincing action star in Von Ryan’s Express! But his best role was in Cold War thriller The Manchurian Candidate, playing an Army captain who harbors suspicions about the Medal of Honor recipient, Sgt. Raymond Shaw, he used to command. Shaw has been turned into a sleeper agent for the Soviets through hypnosis and brainwashing, and he seeks to assassinate a presidential nominee and throw the U.S. into chaos (look for a scorching, brilliant Oscar-nominated performance from a young Angela Lansbury as Shaw’s mother).
