<pre>aka J.F.K. Reckless Youth (1993) J.F.K.: Reckless Youth (1993)
Based on Nigel Hamilton's novel
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106035/
Patrick Dempsey (now known from Grey's Anatomy) is superb as young JFK. This hard-to find movie traces the first 30 years of his life, describing many less known events - especially his romance with Danish journalist Inga Arvad, suspected of being a German spy.
This made-for-TV production must have been "lost in distribution". Not many people have seen it and very few have had a chance to vote on imdb. But it HAS been published on DVD, and is found on my shelves. As often happens with such productions, picture quality is not brilliant on the DVD. My new ripping procedure gave decent quality for just 2x400 MiB for this 2x90 min. miniseries. Spending more filespace would not have improved it, but I include a sample for ye weak in faith.
Original fullscreen 624x448, 2-pass rip, good stereo sound AC3.
Burn tested, runs well in both my standalone DivX players.
