Film Father, thanks for stopping by, I’ve got Suddenly in my Netflix queue. I wasn’t aware Hayden was in it, thanks for the heads up. My favorite Hayden film has to be Dr. Strangelove though. “Our precious essence.” Be sure to check out my other movie reviews on the right sidebar.

I didn’t expect a film review when I came here today…what a great surprise!

Asphalt Jungle is a superb film, and Sterling Hayden is terrific in it. He usually plays a heavy in his films (The Killing, The Godfather), but to see him do a great turn as a good guy, check out 1954’s SUDDENLY, where he’s a small-town police chief who must stop Frank Sinatra (also cast against type) as a hit man out to assassinate the President.

I’ve always heard good things about this film, but I’ve never seen it. I’ll have to check it out.

Hmmm… I’ll have to check this one out – I like movies where there’s no clear good guy.
