Today, "Camelot" is a title often used to refer to John F. Kennedy's tenure as President of the United States of America. But it was actually Jacqueline Kennedy who introduced the idea after Kennedy's death. Jackie's real-life interview with LIFE Magazine inspired the reel interview depicted in this movie. In the interview, Jackie spoke of her husband's love of the 1960 Lerner and Loewe musical titled "Camelot", which was later filmed in the 1960s, and especially the lyrics: "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot." That brief shining moment became a powerful descriptor of Kennedy's sudden loss that reverberated. Said Jackie in the interview: "There will be great Presidents again, but there will never be another Camelot."
