Nancy O.

This is a primitive B & W film about an important primary that illuminates the magnetism of the Kennedys, both John and Jackie, as compared to the stiff, old style of Hubert Humphrey. Jack shows a natural delivery; easy and caring, knowledgeable about those he is addressing. Jackie is mesmerizing with a radiant beauty and charm matched by the intelligence that allows her to speak Polish to one ecstatic crowd. It's short, but has interesting extras and is a must for liberal political geeks.
