The last of the greatest leader of any country, then and now, he had the looks, charisma, intellect, well informed of every issues of his times and a great speaker.
This is a really wonderful film, a wonderful tribute to JFK. The Kennedy administration was the last this country had that its people followed so intensely, supported and actually had faith in. With the death of John kennedy, this country also died in many ways. It will never be the same. So many of us who were very young that fateful day in Dallas remember, and the questions today are many. The world respected us then. How different this nation would be had he lived to serve his term!
The questions have been answered take a look at the research of Major John M Newman, he has it down just search his name,he has the real deal, all I'll say
This seems to be the general consensus on the matter. I hear it expressed so many times. Could it be what we see unfolding in our politics today, could it be the end result of what hapened to President Kennedy?
I saw this documentary when it was new in the 1960s and remember it as the best on JFK's administration. I am delighted it has been added to youtube. Thank you!
A couple of years ago, a beautiful remastered print was uploaded but disappointedly was taken down! The negatives were painstakingly cleaned up and uploaded only to have it taken down! They should have made available to the general public on DVD!
for something that was made during a time of stoicism this was very emotional at least in effect. people could not hide the fact they loved him and lost perhaps the greatest man of their time
2022 - August 27th. A very impressive documentary in honour of a Very Impressive President of the United States of America AND his effect throughout "the world-plateau" 🌹. STILL NOT FORGOTTEN : J.F.K 🌹 & R.F.K 🌹& E.M.K.🌹 Thank you so much for this post. God bless you and your extended ones 💐 Sincere regards in Christ Jesus Our Lord through The Holy Spirit 💖, in His service ✝️🌹, A. DEE WAI 🕊️
When I was little I would see this documentary every Nov 22 then my parents would tell me and my brothers why that date was so special in our family. My mother was having surgery that same day and she loved the Kennedys she could not be told for several days what happened to JFK for fear it would upset her too much (she found out later that day what happened and had no ill reaction) My mother got to shake JFK's hand before the election and 7 years later got to shake Bobby's hand too
The late Bruce Herchensohn did a superb job on the soundtrack! It is so moving. Bravo! Mr. Hershensohn! I was fortunate to find a sealed copy of the soundtrack album in a bookstore in Pasadena, California. I'll treasure it forever. I'm having it placed in an album frame and placing it on my bedroom wall.
Hated only by STUPID people. JFK is, by far, the greatest president we ever had. Now, what do we have? Nothing but a GREAT MESS!!!! So, if only some people chose to hate him, look now. I hope you'll all hate what is going on now. This is not the way this country is suppose to be!! THIS COUNTRY HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE. I only wish I could bring JFK back. This is what we lost on November 22, 1963. A very huge loss!!❤❤❤❤RIP JFK
Watching this documentary with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes - wandering what JFK and RFK would have accomplished if they had been given the chance. History may have been taken in a completely different path. It was not meant to be and we are left with a promising start that was cut short before it could be proved beneficial to all. Despite the fact that the brothers were all too human - they did what they could to improve world conditions - beginning with their own country.
He was murdered because he wanted to lift up everyone on this planet and that could not be tolerated. As long as I live I will never be able to get those drums out of my head.
in the last 250years, Citizens of America have seen many ups and downs and managed to raise whenever it appeared impossible to recover. Great country,Great people and great visionaries who shaped America to be on top of the world.
Just saw the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as I was recently in D.C. A work of art. Beautifully designed by John Warneke and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Thanks for posting this video.

EXCELLENT FILM ON PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY 🎥🎥🎥 WONDERFUL TO SEE THE PEOPLE FROM 1960S IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD 🌏🌎🌍 PRESIDENT KENNEDY DID GOOD HE WAS A GOOD GUY 🌟🌟🌟IN A BAD WORLD 🌏🌎🌍
Thank you so much for posting and sharing such a great leader like PRES. John Fitzgerald KENNEDY is a hero, and fr. generation to generation he will never be forgotten, his leadership demonstrated his loved for his country and to all mankind..God bless him and may he rest in peace now and forever...
No politician gets that kind of welcome, by the man on the street anymore. He was flawed as a human being, but brought hope for a better world for all. That couldn't be allowed to happen. I think he was the last politician most believed in. Now across the world we have no respect or emotions for any of our world leaders.
@@jeanneumana1052 Jack Kennedy was special. No President talks about peace the way he did. As a serviceman, he knew the cost of war. Man was the real deal, not the lightweights we have today. It's like night and day.
Take off the rose colored glasses. Kennedy could not pass the civil rights act. It took LBJ to do it. Study a bit before you post pseudo orgasmic BS about a fairy tailed time.
They can't "afford" for us to see a REAL leader that was "heads and shoulders" above any since him. How weak would that have made other SUPPOSED "Liberals/Progressives" today look??
No school system teaches the truth and Kennedy was the truth. They wanted his existence forgotten. None of us can never be free until evil and racism is defeated. They will blow it up before they free it up.
Although there are some stretches of the truth in this film because this film was intended for overseas, it nevertheless is accurate about most of the accomplishments and the impression that people had of JFK and the magnitude of the loss and how it affected people all over the world. One of the unfortunate results of his death was what happened to the Alliance for Progress after he died as it became of shell of what he had intended before it faded away.
JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS A NATIONAL LOVED MAN, HE WAS THE BACKBONE FOR ALL RACES, HE WAS A SAINT FOR ALL HUMAN KIND,BUT YOU KNOW WHEREVER THERE'S GOOD EVIL IS NOT FAR AWAY, GOD BLESS YOU JFK YOU REALLY DID GOOD FOR US,THE WORLD AND ALL MAN KIND, REST IN HEAVEN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THIS WAR ANY MORE,AMEN.
I get choked up at 1:14:31! I was at school when this tragedy took place. I was in First Grade and my teachers were crying. We went out to the playground and our flag was lowered to half mast. Our Principal said that our President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas,TX and that we were free to go home. We were told to return to school on Monday morning. Mr. Peck was absolutely right. It was two hours earlier in California when this horrible event took place. I'll never forget it.
Unbelievable! We were shown this documentary on President Kennedy in our school in India. I was so impressed by the narration and very sad at the end .😢Only question was why ?? Sixty one years later, it remains unanswered. Thanks for posting this video. 🙏🙏
They did have that star aura around them. The closet thing to royalty America ever had or will have. Jackie was correct in her interview with the Life Magazine writer TS White 4 days after the funeral that there would not be another President like him. Camelot was formed in that interview when a shocked and grieving nation read that famous column in the Life issue after the assassination. Sigh.
JFK's legacy by sending Peace Corps in our country the Philippines made us humble Filipinos for Americans great contribution. I still recall our town Mabini , Bohol benefitted on peace corps program from the U. S. A. Thank You JFK. Thank you U.S.A. God Bless
Bruce Herschenson who wrote, diected and composed the music of this outstanding documentary was a conservative Republican. He worked in the Nixon and Reagan administrations. He taught at Harvard and was a television commentator. I had the privilege of working on his 1986 Senatorial campaign. Bruce was an absolute genius and one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met.
Even though I was alive when Kennedy was assassinated, I was only 5 years old and I remember my TV cartoons were preempted by the live coverage of the Presidents funeral, which I did watch and remember the horse drawn coffin. My parents explained to me what had happened and to a certain extent I understood and vividly remember to this day.
He sure did Robert , I wonder what a world we would have today if he was allowed to fulfill his dream . This was a human tragedy . i truly feel the world lost on his death . I don't think we're alone in this thought
I think if the world respected us wholeheartedly then, this film would not have been produced. The mission of the USIA was to manage America's "image problem." They were selling the character of the American people through Kennedy. It was one of their more successful projects, admittedly. This was a brilliant hagiography.
By far, the best most complete doc i have ever seen on JFK. He was truly the last of his kind in DC. Not a perfect man by any stretch, not even close..... but a uniter. Unlike the Great Divider we have today. A huge part of us Americans died that Nov day in 63. I was a month shy of three yrs old that day. The division and unrest today and viciousness and conspiracy and efforts at supreme control (aka Socialism) are horrendous. Right now i declare i am absolutely ashamed to be an American. In two short yrs we have de-volved into a third rate country run by a corrupt good ole boys network of crooks only content on fillling their own pockets. Come January, maybe then the committees will finally find the Diaper Filler and his entire corrupt family out and lock every one of them up, and take half their crooked administration with them. One can only have such an errant wish for the New Year.
I HAD THE GREAT PRIVILEDGE OF SEEING HIM IN MY HOMETOWN CORK CITY IRELAND 🇮🇪 ON JUNE 28TH DURING HIS HISTORIC IRISH VISIT I WAS STANDING ON THE SOUTH MALL STREET CORK CITY HE PASSED BY HE WAS SMILING AND WAVING TO THE MASSIVE CROWD THAT TURNED OUT TO GREET HIM HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO CITY HALL TO MEET THE LORD MAYOR OF CORK CITY SEAN CASEY AND OTHER DIGNITARIES A WONDERFUL HAPPY SPECIAL GOLDEN MEMORY FOR ME LATER ON THAT YEAR 1963 CAME THAT AWFUL DAY IN DALLAS TEXAS U S A BLACK FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22ND WHEN HE WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY A PERSON OR PERSONS ??? WHO ARE NOT WORTHY OF MENTION J F K 1917 TO 1963 R I P AMEN ❤
I know Henry Fonda was the narrator at the beginning but that voice could easily pass for William Dafoe. But watching these Kennedy speeches leaves you wondering on what could've been.
THE LATE HENRY FONDA WAS NOT THE NARRATOR AT THE BEGINNING. IT WAS ACTOR GREGORY PECK WHO NARRATED FROM BEGINNING TO END. (RIP) PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND THE LATE GREGORY PECK. THIS HBO DOCUMENTARY WAS MADE IN 1964 & WAS REMASTERED & REISSUED BY HBO FILMS A FEW YEARS AGO. IT'S AVAILABLE ON DVD/BLU RAY FORMAT AS OF A FEW YEARS BACK.
Silný je to a plné naděje, protože nic jiné nezbejvá. Vzdávám vám hold, pane prezidente Kennedy. Uvědomuji si, že jsem ze stejnýho století jaký vy a tudíž věřím co jste začal a budu se snažit žít poctivě a s nadějí.
Quote by ATTORNEY GENERAL ROBERT FRANCIS KENNEDY ~ "When I think of President Kennedy I think of what Shakespeare said in Romeo and Juliet: When he shall die Take him and cut him out in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun."
One Time reviewer called this film "a legend for export, smoothly put together, fiercely partisan and as heedless of history as a love letter written in sand."
1:15:10-1:15:43 That shiny Lincoln Motorcade glad i can always look at my 2 collected diecast models i bought the 61' lincoln then the bubble top x100 fixer upper. but at 1:15:24-1:15:32 i love they were able to record JFK in his happy time there in the motorcade wavin to the crowd up on the windows of the buildings or sittin on the roofs of the buildings, a straight smooth shot of him & his secret service men lookin up to the waving crowd.
Those drums really stay with ya, haunting, when he was in Ireland was he received so enthusiastically by the Protestant Irish or was this in Northern Ireland,? I wonder cuz Don't they hate each other viperously ? President Kennedy's driver was protestant Irish btw, just sayin' we lost so much, never been the same never will be heartbreaking to the core
@@glenvalley4326 well the way I understand that is not so much their religion but their politics which as you know it's been bloody hence the U2 song Sunday bloody Sunday, basically I understand it like this, the protestant Irish in the south are loyal to the crown where the Catholics up north want autonomy it's where the IRA comes from, not the retirement plan but the militia kind, I was just curious how he was received,
@glenvalley4326 Thank you driver Greer was in the orange order know anything about them? Greer's actions were very suspicious, he steps on the gas Jack lives
No The Kennedy's weren't Saints but What happened to the Kennedy's is Tragic Had the Oldest Brother not been killed he would have been president of united States John Kennedy didn't really have interest for politics it was after his oldest brother was Killed Else Wise John Kennedy could have been involved as a writer. Already. Wrote his first Novel & in his own right He was scholar Kennedy could have been whatever he wanted This family has had their share or tragedy before & after John & Bobby were Assassinated. Who knows what John & Robert Kennedy could have done if They weren't involved in Politics & if They both didn't come from a wealthy background? ??
Yes if the Joe had lived he would have became president for 8 years then John Bobby then Ted after 36 years we would have had a Kennedy dynasty and that’s another reason they had to be stopped.
My Generation Is So Dumb & ignorant I Taunt myself about Civil Rights after I graduated from School By Books Movies libraries & PBS & TH-cam videos & internet
Lee Harvey Oswald was a KGB agent, recruited in Japan and trained in Russia and given a KGB wife ☝️ Sirhan Sirhan was the first Palestinian terrorist in America, and they are also historically supported by the KGB 🚩 International terrorism as we know it was invented by KGB general Alexander Sakharovsky ☠️
The last of the greatest leader of any country, then and now, he had the looks, charisma, intellect, well informed of every issues of his times and a great speaker.
he was the best man of that generation and they killed him for it
Jealousy, ambition,power,money all can kill.
John Kennedy a ray of sunshine in a world filled with darkness
Extraordinary documentary. Exquisite work by Gregory Peck.
First class President Kennedy tribute.
Those memories always in our hearts. God bless president Kennedy.
The Democrats killed him bc he wanted things to change for everyone....not just white people.
This is a really wonderful film, a wonderful tribute to JFK. The Kennedy administration was the last this country had that its people followed so intensely, supported and actually had faith in. With the death of John kennedy, this country also died in many ways. It will never be the same.

How different this nation would be had he lived to serve his term!
If some person or persons can kill the President of the USA in broad daylight and get away with it they can getaway with anything.😜😜😜
The questions have been answered take a look at the research of Major John M Newman, he has it down just search his name,he has the real deal, all I'll say
This seems to be the general consensus on the matter. I hear it expressed so many times. Could it be what we see unfolding in our politics today, could it be the end result of what hapened to President Kennedy?
@@AnthonyCatella Definitely. Those who had Kennedy killed are now in power. You can't call them out by name on the internet.
Bulll!
I cry when watching this video. President Kennedy is beautiful,.:-)
I saw this documentary when it was new in the 1960s and remember it as the best on JFK's administration. I am delighted it has been added to youtube. Thank you!
I feel the same!! I had only 13 years when JFK was killed and remember everything from those days stationed in front of the radio and watching tv...
A couple of years ago, a beautiful remastered print was uploaded but disappointedly was taken down!
The negatives were painstakingly cleaned up and uploaded only to have it taken down!
They should have made available to the general public on DVD!
for something that was made during a time of stoicism this was very emotional at least in effect. people could not hide the fact they loved him and lost perhaps the greatest man of their time
Thank you for posting this excellent film. I had seen it on TV once, many years ago, and hoped to see it again.
I think jfk was killed by insiders due to the risk his methamphetamine

One Extraordinary Documentary I was just 11 years old!! Just being a school kid! Then the unthinkable!! I still hold a tear for our loss! My God

not special according to ANGIE DICKINSON, MARLENE DIETRICHT or JUDITH CAMPBELL
President Kennedy is number 1 with me. God Bless all the Kennedy family.
Have any of you noticed whenever a good influential being wants to put the people first and peace always gets bumped off?
That tells you that an evil empire is running things
Yes because it's people out here that don't want to live in peace,Satan comes in all COLORS,RACES,AGES,AND EVERYWHERE,ITS AN EVIL WORLD, AMEN.
Quite so, the people are last, peace is bumped off purposefully,work is done by
those in power.
Or impeached for nothing
@@peterhamlinhamlin8908 Yep! War makes big money and peace doesn't!
You don't see Documentary like this but this is one of my Favorite John F Kennedy Documentary Cleveland Public schools didn't teach about John Kennedy
They can't "afford" for us to see a REAL leader that was "heads and shoulders" above any since him. How weak would that have made other SUPPOSED "Liberals/Progressives" today look??

He stood up against the machine (secret societies) and he knew what would happen and did it anyway! A true man of courage and integrity!
JOHN F.

empty words for a coward that provided drugs & alcohol to teens
I get choked up at 1:14:31!
I was at school when this tragedy took place.
I was in First Grade and my teachers were crying.
We went out to the playground and our flag was lowered to half mast.
Our Principal said that our President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas,TX and that we were free to go home.
We were told to return to school on Monday morning.
Mr. Peck was absolutely right.
It was two hours earlier in California when this horrible event took place.
I'll never forget it.
Exactly the same for me, and I remember this day. I was also in first grade and my mother was crying when she picked me up early from school.
Unbelievable! We were shown this documentary on President Kennedy in our school in India. I was so impressed by the narration and very sad at the end .😢Only question was why ?? Sixty one years later, it remains unanswered. Thanks for posting this video. 🙏🙏
I remember when this presentation was on TV in the late '70s.
It has now been 60 years since that fateful day...JFK is still missed!
Today is the 58th anniversary of JFK's assassination. I still miss him...
And now we have Biden. Satan is here.
Jan 9 2024 - President JFKennedy is still the greatest American President who ever lived.
RIP JFK 🙏❤️🌺

JFK and Jackie looked like a couple of movie stars together.
They did have that star aura around them. The closet thing to royalty America ever had or will have. Jackie was correct in her interview with the Life Magazine writer TS White 4 days after the funeral that there would not be another President like him. Camelot was formed in that interview when a shocked and grieving nation read that famous column in the Life issue after the assassination. Sigh.
What we gained. And what we lost.
I am a fan. He is such an inspiration 🌌
JFK's legacy by sending Peace Corps in our country the Philippines made us humble Filipinos for Americans great contribution. I still recall our town Mabini , Bohol benefitted on peace corps program from the U. S. A.
Thank You JFK. Thank you U.S.A.
God Bless
I’m pinoy too! Can you tell me more about the peace corps in bohol? Ty & God bless!
Richard Basehart narrated a similar
documentary about JFK "Four Days
In November".
Hands down the greatest president in our country’s history.
This is Gregory Peck narrating, correct? He had the perfect voice for this.
Thank you for posting!
Yep it's Gregory Peck
No other voice could have done it better! The script is moving, specially at the very end of the movie.
Also Charlton Heston would have been perfect..
No it's not him

Too bad your friend didn't work in the Trump Admin. Trump is far greater Prez than any Kennedy was. Or could be.
when JFK spoke it was pure 🔥🔥🔥❤
his policies failed
Even though I was alive when Kennedy was assassinated, I was only 5 years old and I remember my TV cartoons were preempted by the live coverage of the Presidents funeral, which I did watch and remember the horse drawn coffin. My parents explained to me what had happened and to a certain extent I understood and vividly remember to this day.
He mattered........he really, really, mattered.
He sure did Robert , I wonder what a world we would have today if he was allowed to fulfill his dream . This was a human tragedy . i truly feel the world lost on his death . I don't think we're alone in this thought
Yes, he did, and that is why he's dead. There will NEVER be anyone else near to what he was. He was for 'the 'people' !
And against secret societies....!
@Terry Hawk I know. Sadly. 😔😞
@Terry Hawk ok...Thank you

@@randolphgarcia3494 Thanks for putting that in all caps! Greatly appreciated. It sets literacy on an all new high. I understand even more now. 😐
so Sad to see anyone murdered like he was, our president waving to a crowd he did not really know.
But his vice president did.he was in on it! Ol' Big Ears, himself! Never did like, or trust him from day one. I followed his eyes....
I lived through this tragedy and it scared my soul.
Silný je to a plné naděje, protože nic jiné nezbejvá. Vzdávám vám hold, pane prezidente Kennedy. Uvědomuji si, že jsem ze stejnýho století jaký vy a tudíž věřím co jste začal a budu se snažit žít poctivě a s nadějí.

thank you. a great overview.
United States the glory day!
He is in our hearts til we join him! It seems like yezterday!
Hi best statment truly speech thanku so much❤
Hi tru spoken very nice thanks❤
That drum march
One Time reviewer called this film "a legend for export, smoothly put together, fiercely partisan and as heedless of history as a love letter written in sand."
WE ARE JFK AND WE WILL BARE ANY HARDSHIP TO DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION.
jack Kennedy was magic and the people, no matter what country, knew it
Because nobody stepped up and finished the job he started, it’s a shame! The greatest of all the Presidents in lifetime. Magnificent Mind!
LBJ. Dems squashed JFK attempts on Race. Took LBJ to get voting Rights etc passed.
Thirty Five was/is Heaven sent.

when i was a foreign student in the US in ‘70’s I was told that USIS films could not be exhibited in the US by law.
Can anyone identify the music playing during the trip to Ireland?

It is nice to think Prof. Snape is the one narrating this tale of both promise and tragedy.
It's Gregory Peck narrating the documentary
This is really old. Good post!!
Fifty three (53) years ago, today.
gregory peck goat = narrating voice .. or up there with the best at the least
Those drums really stay with ya, haunting, when he was in Ireland was he received so enthusiastically by the Protestant Irish or was this in Northern Ireland,? I wonder cuz Don't they hate each other viperously ? President Kennedy's driver was protestant Irish btw, just sayin' we lost so much, never been the same never will be heartbreaking to the core
JFK went to Southern Ireland. He was received with great enthusiasm by Christians of both Catholic and Protestant persuasion.
He actually had tea with his Irish cousins during his visit.

well the way I understand that is not so much their religion but their politics which as you know it's been bloody hence the U2 song Sunday bloody Sunday, basically I understand it like this, the protestant Irish in the south are loyal to the crown where the Catholics up north want autonomy it's where the IRA comes from, not the retirement plan but the militia kind, I was just curious how he was received,
@glenvalley4326 Thank you driver Greer was in the orange order know anything about them? Greer's actions were very suspicious, he steps on the gas Jack lives
Today we have no presidents just flunkys
Does anyone know what's the theme song called at 1:05:43 ??

Bobby Junior for President: 2024!
who in hell is going to click and sit for two hours?
People with a well developed span of attention.
If he wasn't doing truly good things for humanity he would have not been assassinated, period. Oh I forgot , it's never " a lone nut ".
No The Kennedy's weren't Saints but What happened to the Kennedy's is Tragic Had the Oldest Brother not been killed he would have been president of united States John Kennedy didn't really have interest for politics it was after his oldest brother was Killed Else Wise John Kennedy could have been involved as a writer. Already. Wrote his first Novel & in his own right He was scholar Kennedy could have been whatever he wanted This family has had their share or tragedy before & after John & Bobby were Assassinated. Who knows what John & Robert Kennedy could have done if They weren't involved in Politics & if They both didn't come from a wealthy background? ??
Yes if the Joe had lived he would have became president for 8 years then John Bobby then Ted after 36 years we would have had a Kennedy dynasty and that’s another reason they had to be stopped.
He learned from his dad where the power is , politics and you can change the world! He had money and didn’t need to work private industry!
My Generation Is So Dumb & ignorant I Taunt myself about Civil Rights after I graduated from School By Books Movies libraries & PBS & TH-cam videos & internet
😢
❤❤
How can a Nation kill its own president. ???
Why haven't the Jfk files been released, I still believe Lbj was involved
I wonder if I actually got in touch or contact with the Kennedy that is related to their family these days wonder what would happen
I just want to know who murdered this great man and his brother!
Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan, in that order.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a KGB agent, recruited in Japan and trained in Russia and given a KGB wife ☝️
Sirhan Sirhan was the first Palestinian terrorist in America, and they are also historically supported by the KGB 🚩
International terrorism as we know it was invented by KGB general Alexander Sakharovsky ☠️
Lookup David Lifton

Who killed the Hero of the world"John Fitzgerald Kennedy(JFK), 35th President of the U.S.A."
