Director Ron Field, scriptwriter Joe Stein and song team Peter Link and Jacob Brackman '65 were faced with a difficult problem in adapting Philippe de Broca's wonderful film about World War One in a town suddenly overrun by loonies. It's a tough act to follow, and on the whole the film still comes out ahead. But the musical version remains enjoyable; certainly it is diverting...

Millicent Martin, as the madam, has too many songs and becomes boring after the first act.

Dust can cool the earth by screening out warming sunlight, as has been noted after major volcanic eruptions like that of Krakatoa in 1883, yet also act as an atmospheric cap keeping in heat. Says Scripps' Charles Keeling: "Dust impedes radiation in both directions. We do not know if the net effect is heating or cooling." No less puzzling is the possible effect on world temperature of changes in the atmosphere's ozone layer...
