High Contrast Cinema bring a rare screening of Suddenly (1954) to the Allendale Centre.

 

Frank Sinatra, fresh from his Oscar win for From Here To Eternity, flips his public persona on its head with the most overtly villainous role of his career as a would-be presidential assassin.

 

With reliable support from Sterling Hayden, this taut thriller, directed by British-born Lewis Allen, is elevated by Sinatra's tremendous performance.

 

Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Sinatra requested that the film be removed from circulation which helped lead to its status as an underrated classic; an opportunity to see it on the big screen should not be missed!
