The scene in which Billy's fatherly friend Derby (Eugene Roche) is killed is one of the most jarring sequences in cinema history, one that leaves your stomach queasy." (Danny Peary in Guide For the Film Fanatic, 1986)

Beliefs Vonnegut was deeply influenced by early Socialist labor leaders, especially Indiana natives Powers Hapgood and Eugene V. Debs, and he frequently quotes them in his work. Vonnegut was descended from a family of German freethinkers, who were skeptical of "conventional religious beliefs."
