Could have used the movie version to bore them to death...
Constant balalaika music was one of the interrogation techniques at Gitmo until the CIA interrogators started to confess too. :-)
To each his own, I guess; but I find in the 1965 movie a quote to address every ideological situation that ever occurs in the byplay between mindless alinskyism and fondness for the liberties expressed in the Bible and the Constitution.
I find the movie to be the best ever made.
It is kind of cerbral, though, and artistic. So it does lose its appeal to many on those counts.
I wholeheartedly agree. It won some Oscars, which would never happen now because it doesn’t criticize liberty.
