Thriller
Rod Lott
From 1954,
Suddenly
is the lesser-known of Frank Sinatra’s two films centered on a
presidential assassination. Cry “sacrilege” if you wish, but I actually
prefer it to the later, more polished, highly revered
The Manchurian Candidate. Yes,
Suddenly is a B-noir treatment of the same theme, but the underdog proves ridiculously effective.
