Suddenly

Suddenly (Lewis Allen, 1954)

Rating: Q=5, P=4 / Average OJ
Scale 1=2, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=2, Scale 4=2

1950s, Crime, Action, Drama

A spine-tingling story with superb dialogue. The great script makes this film feel like you're in the theater watching a play. And because the film only has one scene (the living room) it makes the viewer feel a part of the claustrophobic and tense situation. So much anxiety! Frank Sinatra is amazing and keeps your attention in every way--interestingly, his character, Baron, was the only villain he ever played. A great classic crime/noir film.
