Grab this special-edition DVD of John Frankenheimer's 1962 satirical thriller about brainwashing and an assassination during a political convention, and see what director Jonathan Demme is up against with his current remake. Frank Sinatra excels as a Korean War vet who uncovers secrets about his hero pal (Laurence Harvey). And Angela Lansbury is a marvel as Harvey's mommy dearest. The "making of" extras add to the kick.
