Can we do them from memory, though?Kevin Costner: what I’m saying is that in order for the government’s theory about the assassination of JFK, née John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our nation’s favorite son, to make sense, we must prescribe to what i am calling Magic Bullet Time theory, which is actually quite interesting if true. Roll the footage

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

It's JFK's fault.

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
