“The Manchurian Candidate” which was released in 1962 and which starred Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, along with Angela Lansbury, is now a vintage classic movie.
♦ Lifting a description from Wikipedia, this movie is a "Cold War neo-noir suspense thriller".
In 2004, "The Manchurian Candidate” was given an extreme make-over. It was updated - from Cold War to Gulf War - and the remake which starred Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep actually had the blessings of Tina Sinatra, daughter of the late Frank Sinatra.
♦ By contrast, the description supplied by Wikipedia for the remake is "science fiction political-thriller film".
The movies were film adaptations based on a 1959 novel, written by Richard Condon.
Both films are worth watching. But only one of them is the best!
In my opinion the 1962 version is the best! I love Frank Sinatra.

Laurence Harvey (1928 – 1973)
Frank Sinatra (1915–1998)
