Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Monty H — 17 Dec 2012
Excellent black comedy from Stanley Kubrick about a U.S. army general who flips out and sends military planes with h-bombs to attack the Soviets. The president and his aides must find a way to call off the attacks before it's too late. Peter Sellers plays three different characters: the president, a British officer, and the slightly deranged scientist Dr. Strangelove. He makes each character very different and very engaging. George C. Scott is hilarious as Gen. Buck Turgidson, who tries to reason with the president that attacking the Soviets might not be such a bad idea. Classic film-making at it's very best with Kubrick at the top of his game. A must see.
