John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums

To honor the achievements of President John F. Kennedy, the U.S. Information Agency produced this tribute film intended for overseas audiences, and it took a special act of Congress to permit its viewing by the American public. Mixing footage of his memorable speeches with scenes of his swearing-in and inaugural address and other compelling moments during his tenure in office, the film captures the uniquely optimistic vigor of a tragically incomplete presidency. Narrated by Gregory Peck. 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish.
