50th Anniversary of the JFK Assassination

We Were Strangers

United States | 1949 | John Huston

Lee Harvey Oswald reputedly watched this little-known John Huston film two separate times on TV in the weeks before he shot JFK on 11/22/63. (It "greatly excited" him, according to one historian.) Set in 1933, the movie tells of a group of Cuban revolutionaries who plot to overthrow their country's corrupt dictator. Jennifer Jones, John Garfield, and Pedro Armendáriz star.

106 min. 35mm. 50th Anniversary of the JFK Assassination.
