Suddenly (US, 1954)

Frank Sinatra as as ugly, nasty would-be assassin. Sterling Hayden as the big smalltown cop; it is a good pairing.

Is it a noir? It takes place entirely by day, in a small town...what makes it noir~ish is the conspirational atmosphere, and the manner in which things go awry.

It's worth a watch, sure, and guess what? It's available for viewing legally and for free at archive.org.
