	Frankenheimer, John
		John Frankenheimer is sometimes likened to a "wunderkind in the tradition of Orson Welles" because he directed numerous quality television dramas while still in his twenties.
		A firm believer that a production is the sole creative statement of its director, Frankenheimer was one of the first directors of the "golden age" to utilize a variety of camera angles and movement, fast-paced editing, and close-ups to focus the audience's attention (some critics have labeled his technique as gimmicky or contrived).
		Frankenheimer's most famous use of the camera appears in his 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate, in which one shot is slightly out of focus.

		Frankenheimer, who made all of Kennedy's campaign films, actually drove Kennedy to the Plaza Hotel where he was shot.
		Frankenheimer pulled through and continued with two exemplary, overlooked thriller/action films: 1975's The French Connection II, and, two years later, Black Sunday, a film that turned the chirpy Goodyear blimp into a frightening, menacing instrument of terrorism.

	Issues raised by the career of US filmmaker John Frankenheimer
		Possessed of a liberal sensibility and shaped by the Cold War era, Frankenheimer was an artistic eclectic, capable both of rising to the heights of challenging material and of adapting himself to truly miserable projects.
		Frankenheimer’s next project, after all, centered on a plot by the head of the US military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to organize a coup and overthrow the elected president.
		Frankenheimer attributes much of the difficulties of the next phase of his life to a drinking problem, “Because you make decisions that are not totally in your best interest.” Clearly, however, the personal decline took place at least in part because the filmmaker had considerably less to live for.

	Ronin . Austin Chronicle . 10-05-98
		Frankenheimer does wonderful things with his set-up (watching the quintet interact as they meet for the first time is a revelation -- De Niro and Reno, particularly, are at the top of their form), but the rest of the film is spent waiting for a payoff that never arrives.
		Ronin is a case of too much too soon, and by the time "Directed by John Frankenheimer" flashes on the screen some two hours later, you're still wondering "Is that it?" Unfortunately, it is. Still, it's a hell of a ride.
		No one directs car chases like Frankenheimer, and the lengthy, turbo-charged rides here are akin to living things, snaking their reptilian paths through the claustrophobic byways of a decrepit Paris and a sprawling, too-small Nice.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Manchurian Candidate -- John Frankenheimer - DVD - Wide Screen / Black & White
		Among the most taut and influential thrillers ever produced, director John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate is a bleak, mordant spy thriller in which communist brainwashing and mother love make a potentially lethal combination.
		Frankenheimer made a pair of disturbing, noirish masterpieces in the early '60s; this film and Seconds.
		While Frankenheimer's career has had its ups and downs, The Manchurian Candidate and Seconds (1966) suggest that he deserves to be recognized as one of the most brilliantly paranoid American filmmakers of the '60s.

		LOVELL: A lot of people refer to John Frankenheimer in the past tense -- their way of suggesting that the erstwhile boy wonder of the golden age of television and such cold-sweat classics as "The Manchurian Candidate" has lost his distinctive touch.

	SECONDS - DVD
		Soon after the premiere, Frankenheimer was surprised to learn that critics and the public shared the belief that the out-of-focus shots were a brilliant move on his part, demonstrating the twisted point of view of a dazed protagonist.
		Frankenheimer's paranoia trilogy is like a Darwin chart of the evolution of the American Bogeyman: from the lone assassin of The Manchurian Candidate to the unreliable governmental agencies of Seven Days in May to the corrupt corporate avarice of Seconds.
		Seconds slowly reveals that the artist's colony (perhaps a nod to the distrust of the hippie culture of the late-'60s?) is populated entirely with identity-switched people, and that each time Arthur/Tony gets drunk and blurts out a detail about his former life (see, especially, a harrowing party scene), he comes closer to revealing their secret.
