The film *A Bullet for Joey* was directed by Lewis Allen. It was a caper
film about a Communist agent attempting to kidnap a US nuclear scientist. It
starred Edward G. Robinson and George Raft with Audrey Totter and Peter Van
Eyck.
Allen also directed a film called *Suddenly* starring Frank Sinatra. It was
a *bad-guys-attempt-to-assassinate-the President* movie but it was pretty
good. Pre-dated *The Manchurian Candidate* by about 9-10 years.
