Prince Jack is 1985 film from Castle Hill Productions which portrays some of the inner workings of the Kennedy Administration including efforts by Attorney-General Robert F. Kennedy to address the issue of Civil Rights. Although primarily a dramatic narrative, Prince Jack also dwelves into satire and black humor, especially with regard to the Kennedy brothers complicated relationship with Lyndon B. Johnson.

Prince Jack covers the period from the 1960 Democratic National Convention in July 1960 to the autumn of 1963, just prior to the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Written and Directed by Bret Lovitt
