Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by John W — 19 Oct 2014
Director Stanley Kubrick took one of the most successful gambles in cinema history when he bet that a nuclear holocaust could be played for laughs. He was right, of course, and his brilliant satire "Dr.
Strangelove" is a testament to that. While George C. Scott, Slim Pickens, and Peter Sellers (who memorably plays three parts) are all fantastic, Sterling Hayden manages to distinguish himself as a crazed general who launches an attack on Russia so that he may protect his bodily fluids.
Everything, though, is memorable in this unique event in the history of American cinema. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here; this is the war room!
