In the trailer, viewers are presented with flashbacks of Jackie’s White House life, who once famously referred to her husband as Camelot, “There will be great presidents again, but there will never be another Camelot.”
Richard Burton’s Broadway recording of Camelot ignites a haunting feeling throughout the movie, portraying iconic moments of Jackie’s life. The record may have been an homage to JFK and Jackie’s intimate moments, as the couple once told the press that they love listening to the Camelot recording.
