Executive Action is a 1973 movie about the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, written by Dalton Trumbo, Donald Freed and Mark Lane, and directed by David Miller. The film opened to a storm of controversy over the depiction of the assassination: in some places in the U.S., the film ran only 1 to 2 weeks in movie theaters or got pulled from them altogether. The movie was part fiction, but it would contest other reports of the assassination, including the controversial Warren Commission report of 1964, which led to attacks against the film. The trailers for the film never ran on certain television stations, including WNBC-TV in New York City. The criticism of the film and its suggestion of a Military-industrial complex conspiracy led to the film being removed totally from the movie theaters by early December 1973 and getting no TV/Video runs until the 1980s and mid-1990s, when it got legal release and distribution for TV and video. The film was originally released on November 7, 1973, almost two weeks before the tenth anniversary of the JFK Assassination.I have a few extra copies of this movie availableActually it is very good especially for 1973.For a Free Copy send mailing information to voiceoftruth@hughes.net

I did a post awhile back about this movie coming out on DVD-I think it's an excellentfilm-like it better than "JFK". It has it's flaws, like 1970's style haircuts on some characters,and 1970's model cars being visible in the backgrounds of some scenes,but that is easy tooverlook.Good performances from Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan(in his last film).
