A great movie that offers a glimpse into what Jackie was like while married to JFK September 30, 2006

This is a great movie staring Jaclyn Smith covering the period of time of Jackie's childhood through when Jackie met Jack Kennedy and married him up until Jack's death in Dallas. It offers a glimpse of what Jackie was like during this period and what being married to JFK was like. The period of time called Camelot was a magical time in US history and this film offers a unique and up beat perspective into this period.
For example there is a part in the film where Jackie went to Europe and Jack asked here to bring back some books. A whole crate of them. After they were married Jackie complained that the press asked here questions like if her panties were cotton or nylon. Jack said that when you give them something better to talk about they will and that's when she decided to renovate the White House.
Jaclyn Smith's acting is superb and the contrast between the role she plays and Jackie's alcoholic father is quite interesting. It's an great addition the body of knowledge about Jackie and JFK and a great Jaclyn Smith film.
The VHS tape version that is currently available has a running time of 122 minutes. The original version was 150 minutes. It would be nice if ABC Circle Films who produced the film in 1981 or whoever owns it would release the entire 150 minutes on DVD.
A beautifully acted and produced saga of Jackie's early years January 18, 2006

Not to be missed! Beginning with Jackie's childhood and continuing up to the great tragedy in Dallas, this lavish production offers an emotionally-charged, unforgettable performance by Jaclyn Smith. Perhaps her best performance ever, and it is uncanny how one can almost believe one is seeing the young Jacqueline Kennedy when Jaclyn Smith is on-screen.
Rod Taylor offers a wonderful portrayal of Jackie's beloved father.
Truly a film to savor -- a bit hard to find, but worth adding to one's collection as it is definitely a film to see more than once. Recommended!
An outstanding dramatization of Jackie O's life..... November 16, 2002

This 1981 tv-movie is one of Jaclyn Smith's best performances in her reign in Hollywood as the undisputed Queen of TvMovies. This movie came out right after the cancellation of her tv series "Charlie's Angels." So, it was a big risk for both the star and the producers if she will be taken seriously as Jackie O. But her performance is absolutely outstanding from start to finish, that she was rewarded by a Golden Globe nomination and other accolades from the media and critics alike. The viewing public also agreed, making the film one of the highest rated tv movies of all time! It also features James Franciscus as JFK, who also appeared with Jaclyn Smith, a year before, in the thriller "Nightkill." See it for yourself .....
