Its strange how a devout catholic family have so much, only to loose it.all?The film was shoot in hamilton, see if you notice the tracedero on sanford?
Good movie, although perhaps not entirely historically accurate. Katie Holmes' accent wasn't great at times. Interesting to see, though!
Ryan Blakely does a great job in the role of Lee Oswald. I especially like the scene where he's enjoying his KFC and Dr. Pepper.....
I agree with jhorne1950
These DVD's are a moving tribute to the greatest President America has ever had, his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and their family.
Excellent depiction of the Kennedy's . Historically accurate and very entertaining.
I found this to be a fascinating look at American politics of the 60's. Perhaps because I lived through a number of the events, I found the series very interesting. It would be helpful if the library reviewed their lending policy on DVD's such as this series. There are three DVD's with eight episodes (of about 45 to 50 minutes each) plus an extra that talks about filiming the series. The loan period for this series is the same as a 2 hour movie in spite of the fact that there is three times the material to view. Very difficult on a one week borrow!!
Unless you are obsessed with the Kennedys, you will be as bored as I was. I gave up after 1/2 an hour.
