New York Times Movie Review (above link) Aprill 11, 1966
This 1964 documentary, narrated by actor Gregory Peck, tells the story of President Kennedy’s 1000 days in office, while also showing scenes from his funeral. The film was created to air internationally only, but due to critical acclaim Congress passed a special resolution allowing it to be seen in the United States. The documentary was funded by the U.S. Information Agency and written and directed by Bruce Hershensohn.
Funded by HBO in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performance Arts, the film was digitally restored in observance of the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s death, November 2013.
Available on DVD by Warner Brothers Home Entertainment. Released 2013.
