The Assassination on the Screen - Comparisons

[Craig Hipkins]

Although I am not a conspiracy supporter I do have a soft spot for that film. It came out in 1977 when I was nine years old. I can remember seeing the advertisements on television and absolutely could not wait to see it! It was that movie that sparked my interest in Booth and the assassination.

I watched it again a year or so ago on youtube via the same link that Gene has so graciously supplied us. Needless to say, the 46 year olds perspective is just a wee bit more cynical than the 9 year olds!!!

Roger, I too have Bak's book and concur with the excellent work done by Betty on Lewis Powell! There is also an interesting chapter at the back of the book on the cinematic career of Lincoln and Booth.
