Press Reviews:
Many nuggets of fascinating information"—SRFA Review
"A useful and entertaining tour through the iconic 1964 film directed by Stanley Kubrick. Case explores thoroughly the making of the film, from its initial origins as a pulp novel authored by Peter George, through its legacies in contemporary American culture…valuable connections between the black comedy and the equally absurd reality it parodied…valuable"—Jewish Film & New Media
