CAST REVIEWS Review by Joey (posted on 4-Sep-2005) I've seen this movie a few times. I think it's one of the best political and/or psychological thrillers ever made. Sinatra is always a favorite. Angela Lansbury is amazing in her portrayal of Raymond's sinister mother who devises a plan to get her nincompoop of a husband elected president... it gave me goose bumps! This really hit home. This film is a subcutaneous serenade to what can happen. It definitely gets under your skin.
