Ladybug Ladybug (film)

Ladybug Ladybug is a 1963 American motion picture directed by Academy Awardnominated filmmaker Frank Perry. The film is a commentary on the psychological effects of the Cold War, the title deriving from the classic nursery rhyme. It was the motion picture debut of William Daniels, Estelle Parsons and Jane Connell.

It isnt explicitly stated that a bomb was or wasnt dropped but earlier scenes in the movie specify that the alarm was the result of an error, meaning that the children are victims of the panic and paranoia caused by the Cold War.Alternatively, consider that a bomb is dropped and the determination that the alarm was the result of an error was erroneous. Movies of this genre e.g. FailSafe and Dr. Strangelove played out doomsday scenarios to their destructive conclusions. The alternative interpretation replaces paranoia with what was believed to be objective fear and gives credence to instincts that are aroused under this threatening scenario. ........
