Here, with scenes never presented before, is a complete motion picture chronicle of that incredible time in Dallas. Here is the minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day story -- with every detail revealed, every question answered."

This Art Poster, which features the above-referenced paragraph of verbatim text, advertises one of the best documentary films ever made (and, in my opinion, THE very finest film dealing with the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy) -- "FOUR DAYS IN NOVEMBER" -- which debuted in American movie theaters on Saturday, November 21, 1964, which was just one day shy of the first anniversary of JFK's assassination. (The film had a New York premiere on October 7, 1964, a month-and-a-half prior to its general USA release date.)
The Art Poster featured on this Amazon webpage is one of several different pieces of "Four Days In November" promotional material distributed by United Artists to advertise the film. Another of the movie's original posters contains a different written passage from the one I mentioned above. That alternate version of the poster has the following text printed on it:
"A full motion picture chronicle of the four days our generation will never forget ... four days that electrified and saddened the world. Included are scenes never before seen on television or the motion picture screen."

"Four Days In November", a black-and-white film directed by Mel Stuart and skillfully narrated by actor Richard Basehart, remains my all-time favorite JFK-related program (whether it be a movie or a TV special). It's an expertly-edited chronological documentary which guides the viewer through all four of those dark November days that shocked the nation and the world in late 1963.
"Four Days" received a significant amount of attention and was, in fact, nominated for an Academy Award (for "Best Documentary Feature" of 1964). The film was released on VHS videotape by MGM/UA Home Video in 1988, and was re-released on video by MGM in the year 2000.
Via several "re-creations" of the actual Dallas events (using some of the people who were directly involved), this David L. Wolper production gives the viewer a true feeling of being able to re-live the events of November 22-25, 1963, when America's young 46-year-old leader was gunned down on Elm Street in Dallas, Texas.
"Four Days" was made only a matter of months after the assassination, which helped in making the re-creations all the more effective, since the people involved, the locations, the landmarks, and even the automobiles had not changed much at all since the tragedy occurred. I truly had the sense of being there BEFORE it happened because of the very good re-created scenes.
One of the film's re-created segments that has an especially "eerie" quality to it is the scene where we see Buell Wesley Frazier driving his 1953 Chevrolet sedan toward the "drab bulk" of the Texas School Book Depository, which looms ahead in the foreground. Frazier was the 19-year-old Book Depository co-worker of Lee Harvey Oswald's who gave Oswald a ride to work on the morning of President Kennedy's assassination.
In addition to the re-created portions of the movie, there's an abundance of stock news footage presented throughout the documentary. In fact, the majority of the film is composed of TV news footage and archival film clips, including some pre-November 22nd footage covering JFK's activities in the days leading up to that terrible Friday in Dallas (including some rarely-seen footage of President Kennedy's mid-November trip to Florida and his visits to San Antonio, Houston, and Fort Worth on 11/21/63).
Another very big reason for why I hold "Four Days In November" in such high esteem is its outstanding Elmer Bernstein musical score. Mr. Bernstein's stirring musical arrangements fit "Four Days" just perfectly, adding emotional impact to each and every portion of the film.
Wolper Productions thankfully sidestepped all the conspiracy theories and stuck by the Warren Commission Report's "Lone Assassin" verdict for this documentary.
Many of the facts surrounding President Kennedy's assassination have been disputed and debated by researchers for decades. And this tragic crime will likely remain a topic that shall cause heated debate for many more years to come.
But what the film "Four Days In November" does accomplish is to allow the viewer to re-live those sorrowful November days, in the order in which the events transpired, based on the evidence available.
Anyone who has a collection of John F. Kennedy-related videos and DVDs should definitely own a copy of this remarkable motion picture.
