Sinatra asked United Artists to withdraw the film from circulation because he heard the rumor that Lee Harvey Oswald had seen it prior to 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 Sinatra also supposedly wanted '' The Manchurian Candidate '' &ndash; of which he was a producer &ndash; withdrawn after the assassination , but its disappearance was actually caused by its having completed a normal film release schedule
