Four Days in November is a 1964 documentary feature film directed by Mel Stuart.It is, unsurprisingly, a documentary about the assassination of John F. Kennedy—the first of many. The film takes a straightforward narrative approach, starting with President Kennedy taking a trip to Texas to help shore up fissions in the Texas Democratic Party (Gov. John Connally, shot along with the President, eventually became a Republican). Other threads follow Lee Oswald, a frustrated young Marxist who decides to commit a terrible crime, and Jack Ruby, a strip club owner and police department groupie who commits a crime of his own.Contains many of the standard clips one associates with the Kennedy assassination, as well as some more obscure clips, such as an interview with the cabbie who drove Oswald to his boarding house on Nov. 22. Does not include the infamous Zapruder Film, which was not shown to the public until it aired on television in 1975.

The Cameo

comment
The Cameo: None other than Joan Crawford is shown in a brief clip. Crawford was in Dallas for a Pepsi convention (she was on the board of directors). In Real Life Crawford stepped out of a meeting to watch the president's motorcade go by, minutes before he was murdered.

Lonely Funeral: Lee Oswald's funeral has exactly three mourners: his wife, his mother, and his older brother. Six reporters covering the event are pressed into service as pallbearers.

Vice President Who?
 Four Days in November / int_6aa5bcb8
comment
Vice President Who?: The narration states that Vice President Johnson arrived in Texas "almost unnoticed" on Tuesday Nov. 19, and also that he flew commercial.

Due to the Dead: As one might guess, much of the film is devoted to the elaborate state funeral.

comment
Antagonist in Mourning: A subdued Barry Goldwater, who was gearing up to run against Kennedy and did run against Johnson in 1964, observes that "He was the sort of antagonist I've always enjoyed", because JFK didn't make it personal.

The Ken Burns Effect
 Four Days in November / int_cb9afcd
comment
The Ken Burns Effect: Used for just about every still picture in the film. Examples include a pan up the infamous picture of Oswald with his rifle, and a zoom onto the face of John F. Kennedy Jr. as he salutes his father's coffin.

Dramatization: "Certain scenes have been re-created." The scene with Dallas cops hunting around the sixth floor of the Book Depository for a weapon stands out.

Widow's Weeds: One of the most famous Real Life instances of this, as Jackie Kennedy went with the full black dress and veil. The narration describes her as "black veiled, like some ritual figure of classic myth."
