Sinatra asked United Artists to withdraw "Suddenly" from circulation because he heard the rumor that Lee Harvey Oswald had seen it before shooting President Kennedy. According to Hollywood legend, Sinatra bought up all remaining copies of "Suddenly" and had them destroyed, but this was not true. Sinatra also supposedly wanted "The Manchurian Candidate" – of which he was a producer – withdrawn after the assassination, but its disappearance was caused by its having completed a normal film release schedule.
