The Capture

The Manchurian Candidate, 9pm, Sky Arts
With the brainwashing of US soldiers in 50s Korea pictured early on, John Frankenheimer’s terrific thriller makes its central mystery not what happened to Laurence Harvey’s decorated war hero Shaw but why. Frank Sinatra plays his commanding officer Marco, whose recurring nightmares hold the key to a pan-communist plot against America. Steeped in a cold war paranoia that seems to bring out the main characters in cold sweats, it’s also a sly oedipal tale, with Shaw’s mother (Angela Lansbury) intent on involving her son in his senator stepfather’s rise to power.
