I know this is all set around the assassination of President Kennedy, but every time I saw Michelle Pfeiffer here I just thought of Marilyn Monroe! Anyway, she’s the contentedly married “Lurene” who tells husband “Ray” (Brian Kerwin) that she’s a mind to attend the President’s funeral. “Yeah, right”, thinks he and goes to bed. She, on the other hand, is quite serious so shoves some stuff in a suit...
