Suddenly
A cold-blooded thriller!
Directed by Lewis Allen
Produced by Libra Productions Inc.
A taut noir thriller about a psychopathic assassin's invasion of a small-town home, pitting a pacifist widow and reluctant lawman against cold-blooded violence.
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.
