Product Description
Oscar winner Frank Sinatra is riveting as a cold-hearted assassin in this taut thriller. When the President of the United States makes a train stop in a sleepy California town, the town sheriff (played brilliantly by Sterling Hayden) is notified by a team of Secret Service men who arrive to make sure the town is secure. But three assassins get there first and take over the house overlooking the train station, holding the family hostage while waiting for the President to arrive. Frank Sinatra s portrayal of a cold-blooded killer is flawless turning this film into a compelling drama, now in color for the first time.
The black and white version looks great!,

Legend Films has done an absolutely outstanding job restoring “Suddenly.” I didn’t watch the colorized version but they very smartly included the original black and white. While there are still some scratches and lines through the screen, the print itself is amazingly crisp and looks much better than the Hal Roach Studios version I had before. I was so happy I took a chance and bought this! But I didn’t take a big chance because Legend Films also did an excellent job releasing the Martin & Lewis classic “Money From Home.” I hope they continue to restore and release these old movies I love. How about “Sudden Fear” next, to replace that deplorable Kino version?

I think it’s a wonderful idea to have this film in color because the shots that were made in this film were so bland that this gives the movie something more. I can’t wait to see the restoration on this movie which has been waiting for years for a perfect copy of this film. Hopefully this is it.

This movie was shot in B&W for a reason. There is no need to colorize it. Did the production co. ask the director for his approval in changing this film?
