"Bobby"

On this the day after the forty-third anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, I am glad to commend to you the new film "Bobby". Written and directed by Emilio Estevez, the film is a fictionalized account of the lives of several persons who were at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles the night of the shooting of Robert F. Kennedy.

Although the lateness of the hour precludes a decent review of the film here, I can attest to the film's quality, and its humaneness. The showing of the film at my local "civilized" theatre was enough to bring tears to the eyes of several.

If time permits I will write more about this rather important film. In the meantime, see the film if you can. It will do you good.

    My friend, the cinema manager expressed certain reservations about "Bobby". He mentioned in particular the weakness of the dialogue, saying after prompting that the script was mundane. I believe that this was made up for by strong acting, and the presence of Mr. Kennedy in the film.
