Qfcago Tribune. Tuesday, October 13; 1S31 Section' 2 '8. i S4 I 03 Happy Days Tuesday Afternoon denotes cbsed-captionmo, Tuesday Morning 'Jacqueline Bouvier Kenned a naive and misty look at the Camelot years 5:20 d) WAS ONLY matter of time before the factory, workers who churn out ABC-TV movies got around to cashing in on a three-hour version of "Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy." f.terilynn Preston on TV it 1 1 III Tin, mi 1 I irHllll IT' Turf Why not? The legend lives, the aura remains, her $3 million island hideaway, heated towel bars and all, is still considered hews even though she hasn't been a public person, the First Lady, in 18 years. People still care about Jackie O. Indeed, the mystery that surrounds the widow of John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been explored, explained, and exploited in dozens of books, none of them, you should keep in mind, written by Mrs.

Onassis herself. STEVEN ETHERS, the director snd writer of Wednesday night's ABC film, prides himself on having read 29 of those second-, third-, and even fourth-band accounts of Jackie's early years. jSs account, he insists, is the fairest of them all. Every important line of dialog in the piece, he says, was checked and rechecked for authenticity, He claims ha was looking only fqr the truth. He claims he discarded all the sleazy tales of his affairs and her affairs and any real marital trouble they might have had because, in his mind, they didn't add up to the truth.

Is "Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy" the truth? How could it be? It'is television. It is a dramatization. It' is based on "a variety of books, articles, and interviews" cleaned up and cut on the bias to represent the magic of "the Camelot years." It is the best effort of one naive man who is sensitive to some parts of Mrs. Kennedy's early life and totally Insensitive to ojthers. It is a film, for instance, that -shows us scene after scene of the pomp and ceremony of her trip to Paris, but when it comes to dealing with the death of her second child, Patrick, prefers to ignore the issue completely.

"It didn't really add anything to the picture," says Gethers, who may never understand why his film can't be taken seriously. "Besides, we'd already had that part about the stillbirth. When we got to the second child dying, well, we decided to cut it completely. To be honest, it was a big.yawn TO BE FAIR, this Is not a terrible movie. I wasn't bored for a second.

Jaclyn Smith is convincing in an Impossible role, James Franciscus carries off his portrayal of John Kennedy with just enough aloofness Jaclyn Smith and James Franciscus as Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy: As TV movies go, 8 offers a certain cheap-thrills charm. BLACK JACK was her father, "the most important relationship in her life," Gethers says. It is certainly the most important relationship in the movie. Jackie's father was apparently something of a gadabout, a drinker, a carouser.

He loved all the finer things in life! and considered his rebellious, independent-minded daughter one of the finest. "We live in a very special world, you and he says to his little "Jock-lean" early in the film, in an ear-nuzzling scene that borders on the obscene. "A world where we fall off horses, and off buildings, from out of airplanes into oceans but we show the rest of the world what it's like out there." What this movie shows me is that Jacqueline Kennedy grew up strong but troubled, a confused pawn in a -loveless marriage. Her mother, still alive, is portrayed as cold and insensitive. GETHERS INSISTS he intended to portray a tender, loving couple, but that's not the way I saw it The relationship is interesting, but totally without passion.

When he's in trouble, he runs home to his daddy. When she's In trouble, he's off playing politician. "I want a husband," she says to him as the gulf between them widens, "someone who's around enough to touch once in a while." "You're destined for greatness, my darling," her father tells her, sweeter words than Jack Kennedy ever says. "When you take center stage, create an aura around yourself. Maintain a certain aloofness.

Tease a little. Be mysterious. And above all, never let them know what you're thinking." Wouldn't Steven Gethers love to know? and charm, and Rod Taylor is wonderful as Black Jack Bouvier, Jackie's father. It's high trash, I suppose, but the subject matter is so compelling, it's easy to get swept up. It starts with her parents' divorce, and ends with a long, tearful, mlddle-of-the-nlght speech she really made to author Theodore White, Just after the assassination, about the lost Joys of Camelot In between, there is life at Miss Porter's, Jackie the inquiring photographer, the courtship, even the touch football games in the Kennedy clan's backyard.

It's all there, up to and including the shot just the sound, not the image-that killed her husband. What isn't there is noteworthy, too. What isn't there is the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis, Judith Exner, or any other complicated event or relationship that might get in the way of Gethers' simple rendering of his truth. FOR INSTANCE, we hear the new First Lady tell the press how dedicated she is to her home and children, but there isn't one single scene of Mrs. Kennedy in her home, involved with her children.

"We Just didn't have time for everything," Gethers says. "We had to make some tough choices, but we think Mrs. Kennedy will be very pleased." 1 Indeed, that's why he did the movie, he says: to please Mrs. Kennedy. "Mrs.

Kennedy is a much maligned lady and I wanted to give her a clean bill of health. This is a positive portrait a beautiful love story." Don't believe if. As TV movies go, it has a certain cheap-thrills charm. But as love stories go, "Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy" Invests much less time and energy in exploring the relationship between Jack and Jackie than it does the one between Black Jack and Jackie, 1 5:30 (S3 Faith 20 5:50 CD Meditation 5:55 (23 Thought for the Day C5J Newt 5:59 CD Reflections Sunrise Semester (53 Knowledge CSJ Top o' tha Morning CD Newstalk (R) 84 Sail Straat 6:04 CD Perspectives 6:15 G5 AJUL Weather 6:30 CD It's Worth Knowing (R) CD Today In Chicago (43 BuUwlMkle QC Captioned ABC News (R) 02) Hot Fudga 6:32 CD Ed Allan 6:49 CD Editorial 6:53 CD Nawa 6:55 CD Editorial I 7:00 (2) Waka Up CD Today CD Good Morning Amarlca CD Bozo's Circus OS Ovar Easy (R) Woody Woodpackar 7:30 CD Morning With Charles Kuratt H) Saaams Straat Q2) Fllntatonas 8:00 82 Battlsofths Planata (R) If.
