...Kind of Loving, though somewhat milder in its remonstrance than Room at the Top and A Taste of Honey, is nevertheless a movie with an urgent social message: the working class is the irking class in Britain. The message, never flatly delivered, is ironically implied in the plot, which involves a matter of wife and death. The hero, a hearty young draftsman named Vic (Alan Bates), works in a big mill in Lancashire and spends his spare time "chattin' up the typies.''

...Record American's Elliot Norton: "Although it fills the stage with great performers and offers four or five songs with the authentic lilt and magic of Irving Berlin at his ultimate best, Mr. President is in dreadful shape at the present time. Dreadful is the only word; anything milder would be misleading, not to say dishonest.

Some composers refer to it in its milder forms as "aleatory," a term based on the Latin word "alea" (a game of dice), once thought to be derived from the word for knucklebone, out of which primitive dice were made. Although Composer Cage was preaching the aleatory doctrine eleven years' ago (in his Imaginary Landscape No. 4, he conducted an ensemble that played twelve radios simultaneously), the big boom in music-by-chance has come only recently; summer festivals at Donaueschingen and Darmstadt perform it with enthusiasm...
