Movie Reviews of The Missiles of October

Movie Review: "MISSILES" IS A BARNBURNER
Summary: 4 Stars

"The Missiles of October" starred William DeVane as JFK and Martin Sheen as RFK. Both of these actors portrayed the Kennedys better than any actors ever have. This is a patriotic film that depicts how close we came to nuclear combat toe to toe with the Russkies, and how the Kennedys saw us through the crisis. This may have been the beginning of Martin Sheen's political awakening.

Movie Review: The Missiles of October
Summary: 4 Stars

As a high school history teacher it is always a pleasure to find a movie about a significant historical eveent in which the event is not flowered up. Thiss movie does so. While a bit slow and plodding at times, a bit convoluted for a contemporary high schooler to follow all of the players in JFK's Whitehouse, it does convey the fear and angst associated with the times at the height of the Cold War.

Movie Review: Good Job
Summary: 4 Stars

This is the best Kennedy movie I have ever seen. It is, as it says, the most powerful docudrama ever made. The actors in this DVD are very believable...I saw the Missiles of October on British Television when I was in the Air Force in 1974. Why did I buy it now? After seeing Kevin Costner's watered-down version of the Cuban missile crisis story in Thirteen Days...I knew I had to have this one.

Movie Review: Good quality
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a DVD of a made-for-TV movie that was originally produced in 1974. The DVD version is an excellent quality reproduction of the original which was made on video tape, not film. If you like the program itself, then this is a very good product to have.
