RUBY AND OSWALD is a 1978 TV movie that originally ran 3 hours (with commercials). One of the earliest to depict the tragic events in Dallas, this story's interesting cast is ultimately squandered by poor scripting and inaccurate data. Filmed in documentary style (which includes some original 1963 footage) and based in-part on eyewitness accounts, a four-day span is covered, from just prior to JFK's assassination to Lee Oswald's murder in the basement of the Dallas police station.
Anyone expecting revelations of collusion between the principals will be disappointed, as this movie sticks mostly to known facts. The only speculation is that Jack Ruby was so upset at the killing he was crying after the event-- there's no evidence to support this. Some scenes are shot on location (particularly Elm St. and the School Book Depository). A supposed 1963 aerial view of the city shows the Kennedy memorial that was dedicated 5 years after the murder. Other inaccuracies include a crowd witnessing Oswald murder Officer Tippett in a Dallas suburb.
RUBY AND OSWALD is also available on VHS.
For major doses of Kennedy assassination conspiracy, check out Oliver Stone's JFK (1991) or RUBY (1992), with Danny Aiello in the title role. (VHS of JFK) (VHS of RUBY)

While it was well done, turns out this was a reissue of a 1978 video I had already seen. Guess I need to read details more carefully.
