VHS Movie Reviews of Jackie: Behind the Myth [VHS]

Movie Review: Love this biography
Summary: 5 Stars

It was really detailed but not depressing. I thought I covered a lot of the historical facts around her life without intruding into the facts that we really don't need to know. Since she spent most of her life after the death of JFK trying to sheild herself and her children from the press it was good to see that for the most part this biography wasn't too intruding.

Movie Review: Still a Deal at PBS
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent production.

You can pay the resellers $80 here, or still get it for $20 at PBS.

Movie Review: Not impressed
Summary: 2 Stars

I was totally not happy with this DVD. It's kind of boring and I hated the voice overs. The chick that was reading Jackie's diaries was so lame. Don't waste your money on this one. I wished it had more pics of Jackie instead of scenery pictures of Rhode Island and Virginia and DC and NYC. I wouldn't recomend it.

Movie Review: item never received
Summary: 1 Stars

seller did not have item and I hope I have not been billed for it nor have I received any information if and when it would be available.

Movie Review: DO NOT THINK TWICE...BUY IT
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary of Jackie: Behind the Myth [VHS]

The writer/producer of the film JACKIE BEHIND THE MYTH has completed a book JACKIE BEYOND THE MYTH OF CAMELOT that further explores all the books Jacqueline Onassis edited.

Jackie O. never wrote an autobiography. "Life comes first," she said. This two-hour documentary tries to find the Jackie behind the headlines and deftly uses the press coverage she came to scorn to create a full-bodied profile. Jackie seems to be guiding the video through excerpts from her journal, which a narrator gives voice to. The film footage is focused on her--her 1953 wedding to John F.?Kennedy, being interviewed in French, leading a television tour of the White House, riding an elephant while visiting Nehru, or later in life campaigning to save Grand Central Station. The production also covers familiar turf--the Kennedy and King assassinations, her marriage to Onassis--but it is fascinating to hear the words she wrote about these events and the interviews from big names who knew her then. Personal historical documents provide poignance, such as a poem she wrote for JFK on their first anniversary. "The trouble with me, I'm an outsider, and that's a very hard thing to be in American life," she wrote. This video is a rare, intelligent glimpse of one of the most famous and private women of our time. --Valerie J. Nelson
