Contrived testimony at the trial
2 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Obviously with Bogart, Van Johnson, and Fred MacMurray you're going to get some of the best acting in a movie. My problem lies with the storm and the court trial. The seaman at the helm during the storm could obviously could see that Captain Queeg was scared but testified that he didn't notice anyone acting strangely yet he seemed relieved when Lt. Maryk changed the course of the ship to a safer direction.

Ruby and Oswald (1978 TV Movie)
Most accurate portrayal of the JFK assassination
25 July 2004
This movie is a straightforward docudrama on the events surrounding JFK's assassination during the weekend of November 22, 1963. As the movie states at the very beginning, it is based upon the witness testimony given to the Warren Commission. If you want to see the truth of what actually transpired during that weekend then this movie is worth watching. There are many well-researched conspiracy theories that have been put forth during the last four decades concerning JFK's assassination. Yet not one of them has ever disproved the majority of the assassination witnesses' original testimony given to the Warren Commission or the physical evidence that pointed to Oswald as the assassin. Frederic Forrest gives an excellent portrayal of Lee Harvey Oswald as does Michael Lerner of Jack Ruby. I think the movie might have been more effective if it had been filmed in black & white since so many people watched those events on a black & white television.
