Review of Ladybug Ladybug

This really catches the thread of what it was like during that period in America. The fear of nuclear war was embedded in everyday life and seemed to be an inevitable fact. Civil defense shelters were marked everywhere and classroom drills were frequent. It was a time of great insecurity, not knowing who would flip the switch. The government and the media worked in concert to convince the public that nuclear war was not 'maybe' but certain.

The black & white film is skillfully assembled with striking cinematography.

Well acted and well written.

Recommended for anyone to explore the history of American culture.
