Suddenly (1954)

★★★★★ · Good movie · Cat Lady · 2007-09-15

This is the first Sinatra film I've ever seen. He got great lines ("You've got duty in your eyes"; "Don't...please, don't", as just two examples), and his character's psychopathic explanation of why he took the job will just blow you away; but he also works very well with the rest of the cast, never taking the whole show over, and he helps move the story along without saying or doing much at all, for instance, where the policeman tells the lady Sinatra is going to kill them all anyway to not leave any witnesses, and Sinatra lies and says they're going to leave immediately after the hit and…

Faith plays a crucial plot in this interesting movie. Style in its plot and it's actor/actress. All played their part well. Noted were some who looked like amateur but acted their part well. This movie will keep you watching to the end. No unnecessary scene and all the script were logical and real. Really enjoyed watching this movie, so would you.

It took a few minutes to get going, but it turns into a really great movie. Full of suspensful intrigue, great plot/dialogue, and acceptable acting.

★★★★★ · Sinatra is awesome... · MsCartoonGeek · 2007-09-25

Sinatra does Noir, and man, he makes it his. Yes indeed, this has weird resonances when you consider the parallels between the scenario and the "lone gunman" scenario of the JFK Assassination. A bugged-out veteran, paid by shadowy figures who are never identified, is given the mission of shooting the current President. A Middle American family has the house on high ground he needs to accomplish his task. There is a lot of Cold War propaganda in this too...mom is a "bleeding heart liberal" who doesn't allow her son to play with guns. Genuine suspense, crisp storytelling, strong acting not just…

★★★★★ · Sinatra plays the madman · Hakuna Muhimu · 2018-02-13

The first movie I have watched in approx 15 years. As i have transition from years of pious living. The actors played their parts very well. The plot was good, and the movie was definitely interesting, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm not use to gun violence although I have always appreciate movies back when there was not much blood spilling; and goriness. I am still trying to weight out whether this is something I want to do. But if I do it will be watching "when movies were movies"; and not the movies today.

★★★★★ · A great movie · FlyingMonkeyRecords · 2005-06-22

Sinatra becomes an actor in this film. It has a deliberate pace not found in newer movies, but the power must be recognized. I saw this on the late show a long time ago and have been searching for it ever since.
