The legacy of John F. Kennedy is spotlighted using remarkably vivid color footage of the young president and his family, covering both the crises and accomplishments of his presidency -- including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Bay of Pigs invasion, and the launch of the Peace Corps — interspersed with rarely-seen color film of his funeral in November 1963. Narrated by Gregory Peck. Produced by George Stevens, Jr.
