Dallas housewife Lurene Hallett's life revolves around the doings of Jacqueline Kennedy. She is devastated when President Kennedy is shot a few hours after she sees him arrive in Dallas. Despite her husband Ray's prohibition, she decides to attend the funeral in Washington, D.C. Forced to travel by bus, she befriends Jonell, the young black daughter of Paul Couter. Sensing something wrong, her good intentioned interference leads the mixed race threesome on an increasingly difficult journey to Washington with both the police and Ray looking for them.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is fundamentally a historical drama centered around the assassination of JFK and the subsequent journey to the funeral. While the 'Holiday Release' note suggests it premiered around the Christmas season, the plot, setting, themes, and iconography are entirely focused on November 1963 events, not Christmas."
