I read the book this is based on but I don't remember ever having seen this.

Barbara Parkins was stunning in this forgotten movie. Great acting by her and Peter.

Joe was like Bobby, intense, moralistic and combative, but also charming and overpowering.

This is a nice movie ..I think the actor portrayed him pretty well.don't know his name but handsome ! Joe jnr was a more serious type and that came across through the movie. I found it interesting learning more about him. We don't have too much considering he died young. I do wonder had he lived would he defy his parents and marry that lady the same way Kick Kennedy married her man .id like to think he woild, but then again he was the most dutiful and obedient out of all the children so I think not. All those kids especially the boys...had too much pressure on them to win at all costs. I feel the pain of all those who lost men due to the war 😥

So, this video was uploaded with duel audio tracks. One track picks up the ambient 'white noise' you hear with the cracking sound you can hear. The other track picks up the dialog. The voices. For some reason my PC can't pick up the dialog track, but my phone can play both tracks. Odd occurrence.

I saw this when it first was on TV or perhaps a few years later. I always wanted to see it again, glad it is now on Utube. I also read the book it was based on. Peter Strauss plays a very sympathetic Joe Kennedy Jr. I thin he was somewhat complex, from what I have read about him, he was kind of pigheaded, not as intellectual as Jack, or as independent, wanted to really please his dad. He was in love with the woman. I have to read the book again and see if this movie is true to it.

JOHN JOHN MAY HAVE BEEN JACKS BOY. BUT I THINK HE WAS MORE LIKE HIS UNCLE JOE THAN HIS DAD JFK.

There was no reason for the explosives on the plane to be armed at that phase in the flight. Well, no GOOD reason for it, anyway.

The woman Joe fell in love with Pat Wilson had sky blue eyes.
