...Instead of enlisting the Bomb to save an inane movie, he has created a brilliant movie to save the human race from nuclear inanity. This brief, unnerving film rips windily through a whole forest of Cold war cliches, alternately rustling branches and toppling huge trunks. See-sawing giddiness and terror, "Dr. Strangelove" leaves its audiences smiling emptily. The mood suits Kubric's purpose superbly...
...reception at Kiev University. Noticing I was an American, several students came over to offer their condolences. "You shouldn't let these extremists get away with such things," one of them said.

He knows the loneliness cries of young chicks separated from their mother ("Pieep-pieep-pieep") and their terror trills-a high-pitched "Trr-trr." Both hens and roosters make "frightened" cackles when first they sense danger. After the danger passes, their cackling is full-throated and rhythmical, as if they had triumphed over a weasel...
