Lukewarm bio of Oswald's widow

Made for TV during the hoopla of the 30th anniversary of the assassination, this is a somewhat one-sided look at the events surrounding the tragic incident. For the uninitiated, this movie will provide some sketchy background on the events in the early life of LHO and the assassination. It's obvious that pains were taken to project Ms. Oswalds' story here as objective as possible, considering the scenes of her shortly after the event, running amok around town. The picture does attain a sense of reality to this extent-the viewer expects Marina to blow the lid off the conspiracy throughout-and so we do in real life!
