A retrospective on the film Executive Action argues it replays the lone conspiracy theory with Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, and Will Geer, suggesting Oswald was a patsy. The piece condemns the film for exploiting Kennedy’s death, juxtaposing real footage with fiction and citing the Zapruder film without offering credible new claims.
