Suddenly

Name: Suddenly
Genre: Crime, Thriller
Released: 1954-09-17
Duration: 77 min

A cold-blooded thriller!

The tranquility of a small town is marred only by sheriff Tod Shaw's unsuccessful courtship of widow Ellen Benson, a pacifist who can't abide guns and those who use them. But violence descends on Ellen's household willy-nilly when the U.S. President passes through town... and slightly psycho hired assassin John Baron finds the Benson home ideal for an ambush.
