Trivia:
As Kennedy and Fitzgerald converse in one of the last scenes, a CBS program on TV is heard: "We will now return to our regular programming" and the theme to "The Twilight Zone" (1959) is heard. The episode of the show "Night Call" was scheduled to air on November 22, 1963, but due to the Kennedy assassination was rescheduled for February 7, 1964. more
Quotes:
President Kennedy: [after his life is saved by a time traveler, JFK gives a speech to a Harvard class - in 2172] Let the record show that in any age - good or bad - there are men of high ideals. Men of courage! Men who do more than that for which they are called upon! You will not always know their names. But let their deeds stand as monuments, so that when the human race is called to judgment, we may say, "This too was humanity!" more
