Suddenly (2001)




Synopsis

Suddenly is the name of the small town invaded by professional assassin Frank Sinatra and his henchmen. Taking a local family hostage, Sinatra sets up a vigil at the second-story window of the family's home. From here, he intends to kill the President of the United States when the latter makes a whistle-stop visit. The film's tension level is enough to induce goose pimples from first scene to last. Sinatra is outstanding as the disgruntled war vet who hopes to become a "somebody" by killing the president. The parallels between his character and Lee Harvey Oswald's are too close for comfort, so much so that Suddenly was withdrawn from local TV packages for several years after the JFK assassination. Sinatra would claim in later years that he himself engineered the removal of Suddenly from general distribution, though in fact he'd lost whatever rights he'd held on the film when it lapsed into public domain. Be sure and miss the notorious colorized version of this black-and-white thriller, wherein Sinatra is transformed into Ol' Brown Eyes.

  • NEWSMAKERS: 'Suddenly Susan' Thesp Engaged!

    HOLLYWOOD, July 18, 2000 -- Suddenly Calvin Klein model; suddenly TV star; suddenly engaged, again. Brooke Shields of erstwhile "Suddenly Susan" fame became engaged to boyfriend Chris Henchy over the weekend while vacationing in Mexico, the actress’s publicist has confirmed.

    No details of the romantic coup were otherwise available, save from the facts that Henchy proposed on a Saturday night.

    Henchy, 37, was a producer on the short-lived NBC series "Battery Park." Shields, 35, whose impressive resume includes being the national jail-bait in those Calvin Klein ads and "The Blue Lagoon" as a teenager and the star of NBC’s "Suddenly Susan" as a grown-up, was once married to tennis bad boy Andre Agassi. That marriage ended in April 1999.

    Henchy and Shields have been seeing each other since the fall.
