"Suddenly" is a 1954 American film noir crime film directed by Lewis Allen with a screenplay written by Richard Sale.

The drama features Frank Sinatra, Sterling Hayden, James Gleason and Nancy Gates, among others.The tranquility of a small town is jarred when the U.S.

president is scheduled to pass through and a hired assassin takes over the Benson home as a perfect location to ambush the president.

When the film was released, New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther, liked the direction of the film and the acting, writing, "Yet such is the role that Mr.

Sinatra plays in Suddenly!, a taut little melodrama that...

[it] shapes up as one of the slickest recent items in the minor movie league...

we have several people to thank—particularly Richard Sale for a good script, which tells a straight story credibly, Mr.

Allen for direction that makes both excitement and sense, Mr.

Bassler for a production that gets the feel of a small town and the cast which includes Sterling Hayden, James Gleason and Nancy Gates." Crowther especially liked Sinatra's performance.

He wrote, "Mr.

Sinatra deserves a special chunk of praise...In Suddenly! he proves it in a melodramatic tour de force.(Wiki) WELCOME to Bobs Time Travel TV.
