"In a series of rewrite sessions with Southern - [Kubrick,] fuelled by industrial quantities of marijuana - even as sets were being constructed, General Quinlen, the book's villain, became General Jack D. Ripper" (39). This is from the book Masters of Cinema: Stanley Kubrick by Bill Crohn, which can also be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Cinema-Stanley-Bill-Krohn/dp/2866425723/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331103159&sr=8-1
Whoa whoa, Strangelove is a terrific film. I haven't seen Clockwork Orange, so I can't vouch for that one, but I took a class in college that focused on not just the excellent technique of Dr. Strangelove, but also its large cultural significance, coming in to mock the US government so soon after Hollywood was under creative control prohibiting anything critical of the US or sympathetic to the communists. It's easily one of the top 10 most culturally important films of the last century.
