Podcast appearances and mentions of Laurence Harvey

Our political thriller series comes to an exciting Election Day conclusion with writer and actor Dan Chamberlain (Have I Got News for You) joining to discuss John Frankenheimer's THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Angela Lansbury and Janet Leigh. Based on Richard Condon's novel, this 1962 classic concerns a Korean War veteran Raymond Shaw (Harvey), who is brainwashed by communists to become an unwilling killer in an international conspiracy. One of the defining films of the Kennedy-era Cold War, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE has earned a reputation as the quintessential political thriller, but can its dark paranoid fantasy possibly outdo the tension of the current political moment? Find out on a special 2024 Election Day episode of Mama Needs a Movie that also takes diversions into The Ghost Writer, James Carville, libertarianism, Brian Wilson, the Nixon Library, Joycelyn Elders, Parade Magazine, Queer, Conclave, and much, much more! THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is currently streaming for free on Tubi, PlutoTV, Kanopy, Hoopla, and the Roku Channel.

Dirigida por John Frankenheimer y protagonizada por Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey y Angela Lansbury, “El Candidato de Manchuria” es una obra maestra y un clásico del thriller político. Pero ¿qué es realmente un “candidato de Manchuria” y por qué salió a colación en la campaña presidencial de Estados Unidos?

Send us a Text Message.Politics is something we like to stay away from in our episodes, not that we don't have our own strong opinions on this topic.  Our new theme, "Hello, Mr. President" presented some challenges in this regard when it came to our picks and what topics to discuss but who doesn't like a challenge?Coming in this week is the original 1962 release of The Manchurian Candidate starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey and Janet Leigh.  The film follows an American POW in the Korean War who is brainwashed as an unwitting assassin for an international Communist conspiracy. We discuss a bit about why we don't talk politics here before getting into the topic of AI misinformation and go through a scenario about imaginary presidential ethics.

The bad guys don't stand a chance in this episode. Not with Batman, Captain Scarlet and Sherlock Holmes around. Join Mel Byron and the team as they introduce your favourite fighters of evil, along with John Gregson, Jean Kent and Laurence Harvey.

The Rack (1956), directed by Arnold Laven and written by Rod Serling (originally for television) tells the story of a decorated war hero Captain Edward W. Hall, Jr. (played by Paul Newman), who returns home after being captured and held prisoner in the Korean War. While a POW, Hall was subjected to mental torture and collaborated with his captors. Hall is court-martialed; his attorney (Lt Col. Frank Wasnick, played by Edmond O'Brien) tries to justify his conduct by showing the pressure he was under. Hall, however, is found guilty because he concedes could have resisted more, as soldiers who experienced physical torture did. The Manchurian Candidate (1962), was directed and produced by John Frankenheimer from a screenplay by George Axelrod, based on Richard Condon's 1959 novel. The film centers on a decorated soldier, Sergeant Raymond Shaw (played by Laurence Harvey) who was captured during the Korean War. During captivity, Shaw and other members of his army platoon, including Maj. Bennett Marco (played by Frank Sinatra) were psychologically manipulated or “brainwashed” by their Chinese Communist captors. Shaw was programmed to serve as a sleeper agent and a pawn in a communist plot to take over the U.S. and impose martial law by exploiting a wave of anti-communist hysteria. The twist is that his handler in the U.S. is none other than his mother, Eleanor Shaw (played by Angela Lansbury), who schemes to have her alcoholic and McCarthyite husband, Sen. John Iselin (played by James Gregory) become Vice President and then President, courtesy of a well-timed assassination by Raymond (acting under her spell).  Our guest is Lisa Hajjar, Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.Timestamps: 0:00     Introduction5:12     Two films about the Korean War7:23     Psychological manipulation of POWs10:59   Mental torture and the new duress15:36   A soldier's breaking point21:41   The U.S. Army's distorted view of torture as limited to physical pain25:35   The SERE and MK-Ultra programs28:24   The mind as a Cold War battlefield36:38   A satire of America's Cold War fears of communist domination39:01   Hyper-patriotism is the perfect foil for treason44:17   The remake of The Manchurian Candidate47:10   Conspiracy theories48:40   Psychological torture resurfaces after 9/11Further reading:Dougherty, Sara Harrison, “Early Cold War Combat Films and the Religion of Empire.” (PhD dissertation, Dep' of History, Univ. of Rochester, 2012)Hafetz, Ben, “The Glitz and Glam of Ideology: How the CIA and Department of Defense Use Hollywood Blockbusters as a Way of Propagating the Ideology of the American War Machine,” (B.A. thesis 2019)Hajjar, Lisa, “From The Manchurian Candidate to Zero Dark Thirty: Reading the CIA's History of Torture through Hollywood Thrillers,” Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v. 47, no. 2 (Winter 2017), 41-54 Seed, David, Brainwashing: The Fictions of Mind Control: A Study of Novels and Film (Kent State Univ.

Jill ‘Sixx' Gevargizian is the director of The Stylist that first showed up as a short, in the 2018 anthology, Watch If You Dare. It was co-written by Eric Havens, who is also co-writer on Call Girl, Jill's debut film and this year is the 10 year anniversary! Jill talks her secret to success and why she surrounds herself with people who are good at what they do and who are better at it than she is. It's been her version of film school. She points to her having a good network to source from when thinking about a project and that project's success. Knowing people like Laurence Harvey (from Human Centipede) who she met at a convention and Tristan Risk (from American Mary) who she met through working with the Soska Sisters, knowing the right people just made it easy to execute her movies. Jill brought her years of experience in her trade as a hairstylist in her film, The Stylist, to make it as realistic as possible. So she created the first hairstylist slasher flick! She talks about other amazing films and franchises that also got their starts as shorts like Saw and The Babadook. Jill's film career really began with the creation of Slaughter Movie House where weird indie horror shorts are shown. She is producing on a film doing festivals right now (as of Summer 2023) called Black Mold, so keep an eye out!! Check out the Texas Chainsaw Massacre documentary, The Legacy of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jill is also on that as a super fan and contributor! There are some secret projects coming up including one produced with Ed Sanchez (Blair Witch Project) and written by Adam Cesare (Clown in the Cornfield book), so keep an eye out!

It's July 4th and Front Row Classics is taking a not-so-nice look at American government & politics. 1962's The Manchurian Candidate was an oddity when it was released. Yet, the ensuing decades have proven it to be eerily relevant and timeless. Ryan Lootens and Steve Sykes join Brandon to break down the political thriller. The hosts cover the unforgettable performances of Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey and Angela Lansbury. Lansbury's performance remains of the most menacing and diabolical portrayals in film history. We also cover topics such as the film's expert direction by John Frankenheimer, the many theories regarding Janet Leigh's character and the 2004 remake.

The 1960s were, depending on your viewpoint, either the best or the worst time to release a film about political assassinations, and there weren't many wilder examples than John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate. A wildly paranoid tale of a returning military veteran convinced that one of his brothers-in-arms is now a brainwashed Communist assassin, it essentially created the conspiracy thriller as we know it, and had a knockout cast including Laurence Harvey, Angela Lansbury and - the reason we are gathered here today - Frank Sinatra. Geek Show head honcho Rob Simpson joins the podcast again to talk to Graham about Sinatra's legacy, his Vegas residencies and his Rat Pack friends, including much praise for Sammy Davis Jr.'s wardrobe in Sweet Charity. There's also some discussion of the very unexpected actress who could have taken Lansbury's role, the Jonathan Demme remake and its political inspirations, and the vexed question of what, exactly, this film is saying about the Cold War.

In this episode we welcome Myke Emal from the CineMusts Podcast to help breakdown the historical context and artistic excellence of The Manchurian Candidate (1962).  Starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Angela Lansbury, this is a timeless political thriller, filled with paranoia and deception.  

This Moviecast episode of Movie Club features a review of the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate directed by John Frankenheimer and stars Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Janet Leigh. Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) had not seen either version of this film, but they decided to start with the original. The month of November has them using the theme of political films and this one definitely fits the mold. It was crazy to see how well it holds up.  Next weeks episode: The Ides of March (2011) While technically it's Corey's turn to choose the movie, Jonathan did persuade her to pic The Ides of March (2011). Though it does star Ryan Gosling so it wasn't too hard of a sell. It is directed by George Clooney, who also co-stars, along with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. It's now a film that both are looking forward to checking out.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/berkreviewscom-moviecasts/support

John Frankenheimer's political thriller, based on Richard Condon's novel, is as riveting today as it ever was, remakes notwithstanding. Frank Sinatra is riveting, Angela Lansbury is incredibly evil, and Laurence Harvey plays the ultimate walking dead man as Raymond Shaw.

El Álamo por Fernando Alonso Barahona El sacrificio de 185 tejanos en marzo de 1836, masacrados en las ruinas de la antigua misión española de El Álamo (San Antonio de Béjar) por el general y presidente de México, Santa Anna, bullía en la mente de John Wayne desde 1945. El actor encontraba en este episodio de la historia americana enseñado en todas las escuelas e incorporado a la mitología de la nación, un escenario adecuado para ofrecer su visión del mundo a sus contemporáneos. La defensa de la libertad, la trascendencia, el coraje para defender las propias ideas en un mundo asediado por los totalitarismos… Finalmente se logran los más de diez millones de dólares precisos para que “The Alamo” vea la luz (una cifra astronómica para 1959; pensemos que “Los Diez Mandamientos” de Cecil B. De Mille, filmada en 1955 había costado 12 millones). Inicialmente Wayne pensaba interpretar tan solo a Sam Houston como colaboración especial, pero la distribuidora le presionó para que fuera él mismo el protagonista por lo que tuvo que aceptar. Comenzaron a barajarse nombres para el resto del reparto: William Holden (Bowie), Rock Hudson (Travis), Charlton Heston (Houston)… pero finalmente fueron Richard Widmark, Laurence Harvey y Richard Boone. El rodaje se prolongó durante tres meses, fue intenso, duro y puso a prueba el carácter de John Wayne, entregado con pasión a su obra. “El Alamo” es una película mítica por muchos conceptos, no sólo por su deslumbrante estilo visual que alcanza instantes de formidable grandeza épica (el asalto final al fuerte), dramática (la secuencia emocionante en la que los sitiados deciden quedarse en el fuerte sabiendo que van a morir) o romántica (el amor entre Davy Crockett y la bella Graciela Flaca que interpreta Linda Cristal). A su belleza formal contribuye desde luego la espléndida fotografía de William H. Clothier, de tonos fordianos, y la maravillosa banda sonora de Tiomkin, en especial la canción “Las hojas verdes del verano”, convertida en un clásico desde su primera audición. Aparte de su estilo El Álamo se funda en tres pilares fundamentales: el anhelo de libertad, la fe en la dimensión trascendente del ser humano, la vida entendida como misión, al estilo de Eugenio D,Ors. Varias escenas resumen el contenido. Crockett justificando su sacrificio a la joven Graciela: “Y esto es lo importante: sentirse útil. (…) Existen el bien y el mal y hay que escoger un camino u otro, si tomas el primero es la vida, pero si vas por el segundo es como si ya estuvieras muerto aunque continúes andando”. O la última noche de los sitiados cuando uno de los defensores de El Álamo señala tras corroborar la fe en Dios que otro de sus compañeros ha proclamado: “hay que confiar en las virtudes eternas de los hombres, en lo mejor de sí mismos, el valor, la honradez y el amor”. La película se centra además en los dilemas morales más allá de la anécdota concreta. Así, el ejército mexicano es tratado con respeto (“saben pelear”, dice uno de los tejanos al contemplar el desfile de los soldados de Santa Anna) y en el emotivo final, el propio Santa Anna se quita el sombrero ante los únicos supervivientes (una niña y su madre, la mujer de Dickinson) ordenando presentar armas a su ejército a modo de homenaje. Tras el estreno John Wayne que había puesto dinero de su bolsillo amen de hipotecar casi todas sus posesiones, se vio obligado a ceder a United Artists los derechos de la película. La distribuidora exigió recortar el metraje y cerca de media hora fue cortada. Se creía irremisiblemente perdida hasta que en 1991, en Toronto, fue encontrada una copia íntegra que permitió disfrutar de escenas intensas como el cumpleaños de la hija del capitán Dickinson (interpretada por la propia hija de John Wayne, Aissa ) o la muerte del predicador Parsons). Desde 2010 la versión íntegra estaba disponible en VHS, pero el DVD actualmente en el mercado es la versión recortada exhibida desde el estreno hasta la aparición de las escenas perdidas. En la película completa el buen aficionado podrá disfrutar o descubrir esta obra maestra asaeteada de escenas míticas: la primera aparición de Crockett, los diálogos entre Graciela y Crockett frente al gran árbol –símbolo de la vida- , los defensores del fuerte cruzando la línea que Travis ha trazado y aceptando su sacrificio, el general Sam Houston al conocer que no podrá llegar a tiempo para ayudarlos: “Confío que Texas lo recuerde”, o todo el asalto final, una cumbre del cine épico. Algunos mitos han circulado sobre la película. En primer término su supuesto desastre comercial. En absoluto es cierto. “The Alamo” recaudó más de 12 millones de euros tras su estreno mundial, cifra brillante que la colocó entre las diez más comerciales del año. Wayne se vio obligado a ceder los derechos a United Artists que a partir de 1961 fue la que se benefició de las sustanciales recaudaciones de todos los años posteriores (“The Alamo” se repuso con honores de estreno en 1967 y 1972 en todo el mundo). Tampoco es cierto su fracaso ante la crítica . Incluso un historiador muy lejano a las ideas conservadoras de John Wayne como George Sadoul recogía en su monumental Diccionario del cine, el gran esfuerzo épico de “El Álamo” y su considerable éxito comercial . En Estados Unidos las críticas fueron variadas pero nunca faltaron las elogiosas y la Academia de Hollywood incluyó entre las siete candidaturas al Oscar de 1960, la de mejor película para “El Álamo”. (Al final solo obtuvo una, la de mejor sonido, la película ganadora fue “El apartamento”, de Billy Wilder y aún los aficionados se preguntan cómo es posible que Dimitri Tiomkin no ganara la correspondiente a la banda sonora y a la canción, cuando ambas pueden considerarse de entre las mejores de toda la historia del cine). Otro tema debatido fue la participación de John Ford, amigo y maestro de Wayne en la película. Pocas semanas después del inicio del rodaje, el autor de “Centauros del desierto” se presentó en Bracketville comentando que estaba de vacaciones. Lo cierto es que buena parte del material de Ford no fue empleado porque ni siquiera estaba en el guión. Sin embargo, el director no se limitó a la segunda unidad sino que en varias ocasiones charlaba con los actores principales. Según han fijado los expertos en la película, Clark y Andersen autores del libro “John Wayne´s The Alamo (A Film Legend)”, la versión definitiva de la película conserva tan solo algunos planos rodados personalmente con Ford. Entre ellos el plano de John Wayne y Linda Cristal en su segundo encuentro y el de Laurence Harvey disparando a un atacante tras una salida de los defensores del fuerte. Sea como fuere, el paso del tiempo, las continuas reposiciones y la calidad intrínseca tanto del film como del trabajo de John Wayne han contribuido a colocar “El Álamo” en el justo y muy alto lugar que siempre mereció , que no es otro que el de ser una de las cumbres épicas de las historia del cine y – en palabras de Ford - : “una de las mas grandes películas jamás realizadas, para todas las épocas, para todas las generaciones“.

The Manchurian Candidate and The Mind’s Eye. Across human history, assassinations have driven the path of societies, empires and governments. Along the way, they have accounted for some of the most insidious and mysterious conspiracy theories the world has ever known. Star Trek: The Next Generation’s fourth season episode “The Mind’s Eye” adapted a classic piece of American cinema: The Manchurian Candidate. This 1962 film, directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, dealt with the terrifying reality of mind control and political murder. In this episode of Primitive Culture, hosts Tony Black and Duncan Barrett explore TNG’s story of Romulan subterfuge in comparison with Frankenheimer’s movie, drawing parallels and examining how Star Trek frames the concept of political assassination in the 24th century.

Murder is no game. Well, except for “The Most Dangerous Match,” wherein chess genius Laurence Harvey is terrified at the prospect of losing to someone even more genius-er than he is. Instead of just playing harder, he tries to kill his opponent by shoving him into what passes for early-70s green technology (a massive garbage crushing machine). When that […]

Season Two’s “The Most Dangerous Match” pits chess grandmaster Laurence Harvey against Lt. Columbo in a case involving garbage crushers, garlic snails and garish hallucinations. Game designer Nathan Paoletta (Who is working on a game based on Columbo!) will be the guest.

Simon Heffer continues his highly-authored and deeply-informed exploration of British cinema by viewing five New Wave or so-called "Kitchen Sink" films of the late 1950s and 1960s. 1.Room at the TopHaving explored the stereotyping of working class characters in his previous series of Essays on British film, Simon Heffer turns his gaze upon the films written and directed by a new generation of grammar school-educated young men, whose gritty depiction of the lives of ordinary working men and women was to shock and delight the cinema-going public. John Braine's novel, Room at the Top, was a literary sensation when it was published in 1957 and caused further shock waves when it was released as a film two years later, starring Laurence Harvey as the determined Joe Lampton, determined to marry a rich man's daughter and live in the "Top" district of town.

Episode 058 of the Stinking Pause podcast with Scott and Charlie. This week, Scott takes Charlie on a journey to the swinging sixties with two highly acclaimed British movies. Our first review is A Taste of Honey from 1961. Directed by Tony Richardson, it stars Rita Tushingham, Dora Bryan and Murray Melvin. ‘In this domestic drama, British teen Jo (Rita Tushingham) struggles to find love in her bleak day-to-day life, which is dominated by her alcoholic mother, Helen (Dora Bryan). When Jo has a brief fling with a black sailor and Helen takes up with a new lover, their already tense relationship is further strained. Jo faces more complications as she discovers she is pregnant, but finds support when she moves in with an odd but thoughtful gay student named Geoffrey (Murray Melvin).' Our second movie is Darling from 1965. It stars Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey and features an Academy Award winning performance by Julie Christie.

Although Diana is the toast of swinging London, the dark side of fame and fortune begins to take its toll, but it proves harder to escape the mod scene than she expects.'   This and all of our previous episodes can be found at the website   stinkingpause.com Join the Facebook group and follow us on Twitter   @StinkingPause Emails and mp3's to   thestinkingpause@gmail.com   Thanks for listening Scott and Charlie
