DVD Reviews of ABC News Classics The Assasination of President Kennedy
DVD Review: Coverage un seen for over forty years
Summary: 4 Stars
Thanks to ABC News, we now have an opportunity to see portions of the network's original live coverage during the afternoon of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. This of course, is the same footage offered on I-Tunes' "ABC NEWS - THE DAY IT HAPPENED" series for viewing on one's I-Pod. The coverage, taken from the videotapes of WABC-TV in New York, begins with a few seconds of the sitcom "Father Knows Best" when sudenly the ABC Bulletin slide appears with Ed Silverman reading wire copy as a voice-over. Later, as Ron Cochran begins his on-camera reporting, you can see staffers quickly assembling some kind of background set even as Cochran continues talking. We hear from Bob Clark on the phone from Parkland Hospital in Dallas, and also see live pictures from the Trade Mart (courtesy of CBS Affiliate KRLD-TV which was providing a pool feed.
ABC in fact, through its own affiliate WFAA-TV, had the first eyewitness descriptions of the assassination within minutes of the shooting. You also see the only television interview given at the time by Abraham Zapruder, whose film of the assassination would not be broadcast nationally for another twelve years. This, plus on the scene Dallas films shot by WFAA cameramen, make this a precious piece of history to own.
For those interested in the history of the 1960s, or of broadcasting in general, I highly recommend this DVD.
