War Is Hell was the second of two features (along with Cry of Battle) playing at the Texas Theatre in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. After the shootings of President John F. Kennedy, Governor John Connally, and Dallas patrolman J.D. Tippit that day, Lee Harvey Oswald snuck into this theater without paying. After box office cashier Julie Postal received a tip on Oswald from nearby shoe store employee John Brewer, she called Dallas Police and Oswald was arrested before the movie ended. He was murdered two days later by Jack Ruby.
Coincidentally, actor Baynes Barron was on the screen when Oswald was arrested in the theater; Barron and JFK shared the same birthday, May 29, 1917.
This film is very grainy and difficult to hear due to its age.
