The movie featured a riveting performance by [[Angela Lansbury]]<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001450/ IMDB website]</ref> as the brilliant, controlling mother who manipulated both her husband and her son to realize her dream of a communist takeover of the [[United States]].  Her husband was a parody of Senator [[Joseph McCarthy]]. Frank Sinatra had initially suggested to Director [[John Frankenheimer]] that he cast [[Lucille Ball]] as Mrs. Iselin. But Frankenheimer, who had previously cast and worked with Lansbury in another film, ''[[All Fall Down]]'', showed Sinatra a "rough cut" of a key scene in which Lansbury appeared, and Sinatra agreed that Angela Lansbury would be a better choice.<ref name=Osborne2>Osborne, Robert.
