Owens announced today that the network once again will join forces with Scott Free Productions to produce a two-hour film based on KILLING KENNEDY: The End of Camelot,' Bill O'Reilly's latest New York Times best-selling book with co-author Martin Dugard .

This romantic comedy, one of the most popular of the century, follows a love affair between two people, Doris and George, married to others, who rendezvous once a year. Twenty-five years of manners and morals are hilariously and touchingly played out by the lovers, who discuss the births, deaths, marital problems, and social changes affecting their lives, and develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year. The play was adapted into a 1978 movie starring Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda. Caution: Contains mild profanity and adult themes.
