I have found no promos yet on any of the DVDs I have. MANCHURIAN is one of 
the overlooked masterworks of the 1960s.
Yes, Sinatra actually owned the picture, and after the death of his friend 
President Kennedy, he withdrew it from circulation for 25 years since it 
deals with a political assassination.
