[atlantaprog] Re: A Clockwork Orange

I've only seen some of it (without sound) playing in the background in dance clubs (and I saw a bit of it once with sound), and I have to agree with whoever said that it's not THAT disturbing in light of what's come along since then.

As for *The Manchurian Candidate*: It's a movie about a brainwashed assassin "programmed" to kill a major Presidential candidate, released in 1962.

Frank Sinatra, who was (I think) one of the project's primary backers and is a star of the movie, got the film withdrawn from circulation soon after John F. Kennedy's assassination, and kept it that way for about a quarter of a century.

And, oh, yeah: You'll never see Angela Lansbury the same way again.
