Executive Action - 1973 - Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Will Geer
"The men are powerful. Influential. Immensely wealthy. They have ties to big business, to government, and to an underground network of free-lance intelligence operatives ready to carry out and order. They have come together to plan a murder that will rock the United States to its foundations the assassination of President John f. Kennedy. Could this conspiracy have happened? Executive Action confronts the frighteningly real possibility that it could have
and perhaps, that it did. Using actual news footage of the tumultuous events leading up to November 22, 1963, never altering the established facts or contradicting the historical record, Executive Action thrillingly imagines a complex, daring attempt to change the course of U. S policy by eliminating the man responsible. Everything we show in Executive Action is supported by evidence, says Director David Miller. We cant say how it was done or what the conspirators said to each other, but we can make it clear that one person couldnt have done the crime alone. Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan, the stars of Executive Action, shared a similar attitude toward Millers controversial hypothesis. At the outset, says Miller, before they had read Dalton Trumbos screenplay or studies the documentation, both men were highly sceptical about the concept of a conspiracy to Kill JFK. They just wouldnt buy it. But when they did their homework and realized that our picture is based on fact, they were totally dedicated to the project. Scene by scene, Executive Action builds increasing tension as the fateful day draws closer. The assassination sequence itself is a brilliant reconstruction of all we know took place that afternoon in Dallas. But was there more? That, we may never know.
