I think one of the most effective special effects was the plane(s)
FALLING. I really don't think they dropped a plane however many
thousands of feet up that was, and then filmed close ups and distance
shots of it falling. It looked real to me, though. No special effects?
And what about the scenes with JFK and the actors - do you really
think they got actors who all looked EXACTLY like the people in the
newsreels? As I hear it, they used a very expensive process also used
by Woody Allen in Zelig. Anybody know any more about this?
