Ilyssa Szalwinski Wins Tickets to the Hypnotist Show

Bill Kaiser, Adviser
November 5, 2012

Congratulation to Ilyssa Szalwinski for correctly answering our movie trivia question: What is the name of the movie, starring Frank Sinatra, that involves a plot to assasinate a political candidate using hypnotism to program an assassin?

“Why don’t you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?” was the phrase used to activate the programmed assassin in the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate.
