Product Description

Produced only months after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, this is an historic chronicle of the "Camelot" years. This program provides a chronological montage of the life of our 35th President. Because it was produced in the wake of his assassination, it has an element of authenticity and chilling drama that cannot be replicated today. The program captures JFK’s childhood, his tenure as a young Naval officer in WWII, his immersion into politics, his marriage to Jackie, and an intimate look at his years in the White House. The rare footage will be a nostalgic treasure for those fortunate enough to have witnessed this "one brief shining moment" in history, and will enlighten younger viewers to the way things once were in America. Even today, hearts continue to be touched by the magical story of John F. Kennedy. This program is an everlasting tribute to a president whose legend continues to grow.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Early Overview, January 10, 2007

This 1964 documentary was, as I recall, the first full-length biography of JFK made following his assassination, and it still provides a decent overview. The filmmaker later made one of the more interesting "instant documentaries" on the hippie era, "The Hippie Revolt," made when that brief San Francisco movement was at its peak--a very short time indeed.
