PHOTOBOOTHS IN MOVIES & TV

Love Field

Jonathan Kaplan (US, 1992, 102 min.)

Michelle Pfeiffer and Dennis Haysbert play the central roles in this under-the-radar early '90s drama about a Dallas woman obsessed with Jackie Kennedy who makes a pilgrimage to Washington, DC, in the days after President Kennedy's assassination. Lurene (Pfeiffer) defies her husband and heads East to witness the President's funeral. On the bus, she meets Paul (Haysbert) and his daughter Jonell (Stephanie McFadden) on a bus, and when the bus is involved in an accident, the three of them set off together.

After the accident, a suspicious bus company employee interviews Paul at the nearest bus station, and Lurene keeps Jonell occupied by buying her a Coke and offering to take pictures together in the nearby photobooth.
