Speaking of "Dr. Strangelove", that reminds me that Phil Rowe, who used to ride a back seat in a B-58, said that everybody at his base was forbidden to watch the movie; that they all snuck into town in civvies anyway to do so; and that he identified the guy who gave the order in the theater, also in civvies.
