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. Ara Rubyan [log in to unmask]
