----------------------------Original message---------------------------- DR. STRANGELOVE, which I have not seen in donkey's years, ends with the song (which lists apparently are arguing about) "We'll Meet Again" ('don't know when, don't know where....'). It was sung by Vera Lynn and now that I think of it, it is, in addition to all its other virtues of irony and beauty, a wonderful homage of Kubrick to his adopted Great Britain. This particular song was a colossal World War II hit that,especially for the Brits in uniform (and many of those who fought alongside them) was even more popular than Lili Marlene (which was,to start with, a German item appropriated by the Allies) or the Beer Barrel Polka (which was a Czech song). Oddly, the Lambeth Walk was also sung by the Tommies! There are big differences however in the mood of those songs (and many others) and in the mood in which they were sung. And of all of them, I daresay that Vera Lynn's "Well Meet Again" was the most beloved by far. The blend of lyricism, melancholy, morale-boosting and hope was a mega-zapper. British troops in North Africa, for example, would listen to it on the BBC's short wave and get totally involved in it. I think Vera Lynn was made Dame Vera, for good reason. Her other hit was "Red Sails in the Sunset" which she warbled deliciously.
