Kennedy film poster, Arabic-English version (distributed in Beirut)
A colour portrait of President John F. Kennedy at a desk before a flag and curtain, with two black-and-white photographs below: Kennedy speaking at a lectern before a hall hung with many national flags, and Kennedy holding a small child beside Jacqueline Kennedy. The sheet gives the film title and credits in Arabic and in English. The tell is transfer and testimonial: the president's portrait and ceremonial images, and a well-known actor's name as commentator, lend prestige to the film.
