I'm certain I saw it on TV in the early/mid '70s. I'm afraid
I'm not a very reliable witness, though, since I had totally
forgotten about it (I was just a kid then, anyway) until I
saw the '80s rerelease. When that Queen of Hearts came up, it
struck me that I had seen this before.
Incidentally, SUDDENLY was shown on Swedish TV a couple of
weeks ago. Yes, this is indeed a fine movie, and Frankie is
impressively creepy. One thing disappointed me, though, and
that was Sterling Hayden. I like him fine in just about
everything from ASPHALT JUNGLE to THE LONG GOODBYE, but here
he made every line of his sound like a rather pompous
declamation.
