this Oswald character, I agree that he must have been involved. But here's the thing -- I don't think he acted alone.

The president has been shot! He has been taken to a hospital but he is going to make it. Johnson will carry out the responsibilities of president until Jack is able to recover. We really dodged a bullet there, boys

A week after the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in November 1963, Kennedy's widow, Jackie Kennedy, was interviewed by Theodore H. White, an interview that ran in the December 1963 issue of Life magazine. In the interview, Jackie stated that the show's original cast recording had been a favorite bedtime listening for her husband (who had been Lerner's classmate at Harvard University),[16] and that his favorite lines were in the final number: "Don't let it be forgot/ That once there was a spot/ For one brief, shining moment/ That was known as Camelot".[17] She also made a direct comparison to the Camelot storyline, saying, "There'll be great presidents again... but there'll never be another Camelot." The veracity of her claim about her husband's love of Camelot has been disputed.[18]

Suddenly got curious about what movie Lee Harvey Oswald was watching when he was arrested. Turns out to be WAR IS HELL (1961) which is now, incredibly, a lost film. This conspiracy goes all the way to the top!— Shadowplay (@dcairns) June 10, 2022

I'm watching JFK again months after I revisited ORDINARY PEOPLE & KLUTE & my goodness, we really don't talk about Donald Sutherland remotely enough, do we?What he can do in a scene - even just a key line read like "what did *we* think?" in ORDINARY PEOPLE - wow. pic.twitter.com/Z9qNqbBeT7— Jen Johans (@FilmIntuition) November 21, 2022

The way some ilxors drop quotes from this movie, fully expecting that everyone else on the thread will instantly recognize the quote and know what scene it references, not quoting to to make any point, but simply for the communal enjoyment of recalling that scene to mind, reminds me of how deep-dyed fans of The Princess Bride communicate with one another.
