Editorial Review:

It was a day that no one who lived through it will ever forget. A young and vibrant president shot dead on the streets of a major American city --- the fourth presidential assassination in the country's history. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy was also the first time that U.S. television networks went to 24-hour coverage of a news story. ABC News takes you back to November 22, 1963. Many televisions on the east coast were tuned in to 'Father Knows Best' when the first special news bulletin broke in with a report that the President had been shot. Watch as the information that is familiar to us now was reported for the first time - the first eyewitness reports and the first time we learn the shots were fired from the Texas School Book Depository. You also see police display the rifle Lee Harvey Oswald used and the first interview with Abraham Zapruder, the bystander who shot the now famous video of the motorcade and assassination, but whose significance was not fully appreciated at the time.

Rating:  - abc mews classics assassination of president kennedy
i thought this was a very good fascinating dvd on president kennedys murder.i didn t give it a 5 star rating because i felt the dvd was to short. i felt there should have been another hour on the dvd. there isnt any footage of oswald on the dvd. there is plenty of oswald footage available. especialy the oswald midnight news conferance footage. which was taken from several directions. other than that a very good dvd.

Rating: - Television News Flash
Long before the advent of the 24 hour news cycle and the endless barrage of talking heads and "breaking news", American television in the 1950's and the early 1960's was not usually a major source of news. The main news business was in newspapers in 1963 at the time of the Kennedy Assassination. But television became a major player in the unfolding tragedy of the "Four Days" that began Nov. 22, 1963.
This hour-long disc offers highlights of videotaped ABC News coverage on Friday, Nov. ... Read More
