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)

Political drama that captivatingly captures the era and the following years. It is a drama that will remain current and relevant. Brainwashing as a means to achieve the goals one desires. The inability to do anything about it, because humanity prevails. Humanity is simply misunderstood in this regard. And of course, it leads to fatal consequences.
