An amazingly interesting story of brainwashing, politics, and assassination! The plot is ahead of its time in my opinion, with very solid performances by Angela Lansbury, Frank Sinatra, and Laurence Harvey. I even rather quite enjoyed Khigh Dhiegh's Dr. Yen Lo, even though his screen time is regrettably limited. The best scene for my money was the brainwashing scene that bounces back and forth to the "women in a New Jersey hotel" and the real experiment in the lab with the Russians and Chinese. I've never seen the 2004 remake but was wondering if it's worth the time from anyone who has seen it? 8.5/10
