VHS Movie Reviews of Thank You Mr. President [VHS]

Movie Review: great video, 4.5 stars for quality of footage
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a shame that the quality of the footage is often not up to snuff, because the QUALITY of the information (i.e. JFK's wit and style) is terrific; essential viewing. E.G. Marshall, who played Ike, John Mitchell, and Joseph Kennedy, among others, in films, does a nice job narrating this video. some of these clips are also available elsewhere (sometimes in better film quaility form, sometimes not, such as on the dvd "JFK: The Day The Nation Cried"). Press corps veteran/ lengend Sarah McClendon, who hosted my COPA 1995 conference appearance, makes a notable apperance herein.

Movie Review: Kennedy At His VERY best
Summary: 5 Stars

I have admired John F. Kennedy since I was 9 years old. After watching just a brief part of this tape easily reminds me why my admiration for him has lasted all these years. This video is a classic, and shows the true essence of JFK- his charm, charisma, youth, intelligence, good looks and sharp wit. No matter the question, Kennedy always had the perfect answer. He was very quick on his feet, never at a loss for words. He continues to show exactly what a president should be like. This video is 51 minutes long, and hosted by E.G. Marshall. If you're a JFK admirer like me, or an admirer of politics, history or the 1960s, this video is for you. I watch it often. It has become one of my favorites.

Movie Review: A Great Way To Remember JFK
Summary: 5 Stars

This E.G. Marshall-hosted program features many, many clips of the more than 60 televised press conferences given by the 35th President Of The U.S., John F. Kennedy.

Many of these clips (circa 1961-1963) are serious in nature, such as dealing with the aftermath of the failed "Bay Of Pigs" invasion of Cuba in April 1961.

There are also several clips showcasing President Kennedy's unparalleled humor and razor-sharp wit. JFK was, indeed, fast on his feet on many occasions while fielding the dozens of questions hurled at him by the pool of White House correspondents at each conference.

One particularly hilarious and reporter-pleasing quip uttered by Mr. Kennedy occurred at the 4:00 P.M. Presidential Press Conference on Wednesday, July 17, 1963........

Reporter (Mrs. Craig): "Mr. President, do you think that Mrs. Murphy should have to take into her home a lodger whom she does not want, regardless of her reason, or would you accept a change in the civil rights bill to except small boardinghouses like Mrs. Murphy?"

President Kennedy: "The question would be, it seems to me, Mrs. Craig, whether Mrs. Murphy had a substantial impact on interstate commerce."

After the above JFK response, which was delivered by the President in a totally serious manner, the 410 newsmen and reporters in attendance burst into spontaneous laughter (with the possible exception of Mrs. Craig), prompting President Kennedy to start to break up himself. It was a perfect example (of many during his years as Chief Executive) of JFK's disarming wit and charm, and his willingness to (on occasion) NOT take his office too seriously.

If you can find this excellent video, I'd highly recommend it for any fan of the thirty-fifth President.

The running time on this VHS cassette is 51 minutes. The video is lacking in picture quality to be sure (very grainy and washed-out); but the sound is pleasing enough. However, the subpar video still didn't dissuade this writer from thoroughly enjoying its contents.

Hopefully, some day, we'll see this program released onto DVD, with all the improvements in quality that that format provides.


Movie Review: PRESIDENTIAL POETRY IN MOTION!
Summary: 5 Stars

When I first saw this video I was amazed to see the charismatic grace under pressure coolness of the 35th president of the United States. This is a time portal back to the early 60s when there was a shining Prince Charming who had such grace and wit to have the press eating from his hand. Even during the turbulent times of the Cuban missile crisis, John F. kennedy shows why 40 years later, people still remember his grace, intellect and dynamic irish wit. this is a must for all camelot fans throughout the world. this video has great "Vigah"
