...twenty-six-year-old son, Oswald Alving (Brent Blair), recently returned home from living in Paris, because "even an artist needs rest." Blair delivers a respectable, if not predictable, performance of a boy who attended French boarding schools as a child and spent his entire life away from his Norwegian home...

Maybe the Warren Commission botched its report, and maybe it didn't (I'm certainly not going to read the thing). I am an assassination agnostic.
