The Manchurian Candidate Fun Facts

The Manchurian Candidate was originally a novel written by Richard Condon in 1959, and it was banned in the Soviet Union for its portrayal of brainwashing and political manipulation.
The film version of The Manchurian Candidate, released in 1962, was originally pulled from circulation after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, as its themes of political violence and conspiracy resonated too closely with real-life events.
