While not great art, Suddenly is great crackerjack crime-thriller junk food. Taking place in a sleepy ideal of a small town, Suddenly finds a family held hostage by a group of killers intent on assassinating the president.

The tranquility of a small town is marred only by sheriff Tod Shaw’s unsuccessful courtship of widow Ellen Benson, a pacifist who can’t abide guns and those who use them.

"June 13th This one had a lot of poetential with some good dialogue but the premise kind of falls apart early on and takes the “good guy” wins as a cop out. Sinatra is pretty good. "
