A fine re-telling of one of our finest hours.

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2003)

Told with a minimum of fluff ( and an odd penchant for crawling in and out of black & white for no apparent reason ), this film chronicles very well the events of the "Cuban Missile Crisis" of 1962. All the primary participants of our government's reaction to - and handling of - this crisis are well represented ( Jackie & Lyndon had little to do with this - Jackie being away from Washington for much of the two weeks of these events, and Johnson was never a major confidante of John or Bobby Kennedy ). I would recommend anyone interested in this subject should also see "The Missiles of October" for a slightly different perspective.
