NBC airings a tepid Kennedy tribute JFK memory film
NBC presents a two hour TV portrait Seeing the Light but critics deem it shallow with Pacific accent quirks and thin performances. Paul Rudd as young Kennedy struggles to capture Camelot tone while Burgess Meredith and William Prince bring notable names to a underpowered production. Dave Powers character, played by Kevin Conway, delivers the show’s strongest performance. The segment notes Boston political fervor, early campaign dynamics, and mixed reception.
