Review – Four Days in November

For a documentary from 1964 about the JFK assassination, this is pretty much exactly what you’d expect. The production combines news footage, interviews and reenactments to re-create the events leading up to and following the shooting in Dealey Plaza. The part I found most interesting was the stuff from the day before. There were Jack and Jackie, playing their normal roles as President and First Lady in San Antonio and Houston, never suspecting what awaited them in Dallas. Though the historical footage was fun, most of the information presented is too basic to interest anyone who already knows the story. Conspiracy buffs will also be put off by the uncritical recreation of the Warren Commission version of the facts. Mildly amusing
