When a platoon of Korean War G.I.s is captured, they somehow end up at a ladies garden club party. Or do they? Major Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) can't remember. As he searches for the answer, he discovers threads of a diabolical plot orchestrated by the utterly ruthless Mrs. Iselin (Lansbury) and involving her war hero son (Laurence Harvey), her senator husband (James Gregory) and a secret cabal of enemy leaders. (official distributor synopsis)

A political drama that captivatingly captured the era and the ensuing years. It's a drama that will remain relevant. Brainwashing as a means to achieve the goals one desires. The inability to do anything about it, because a person’s humanity wins. In this regard, humanity simply means a misunderstanding of reality. And of course, it leads to fatal consequences.
