Review of Suddenly

Suddenly (1954)
6/10
Fascinating film

Warning: Spoilers
I was fascinated to see a completely unknown film with such a strong cast, including Sinatra, where the subject was so prescient. It came out in 1954. Ten years before Kennedy's assassination in 1963.

The changes in America which have occurred since 1954 were also worth seeing. The standard of politeness of the boy. The way the woman went off to fix something to eat for the gangsters! The adorable way the three characters (woman, Sheriff and her father) were allowed to go into the bedroom to clean up the Sheriff's wound! Simpler time.

And finally, the moral-ism. "But you're an American" says one of the characters to the gangster. An "American" surely wouldn't shoot the President of the United States.
