Review of Fail Safe (1964) by Knox M — 24 Jul 2016
While it is hard to say if Peter George's Red Alert story works better as a black comedy (Dr. Strangelove) or as a serious war thriller (Fail-Safe), Sidney Lumet's adaptation of Fail-Safe is worth it just for the shocking ending.
Alfred Hitchcock - "Master of Suspense".
Robert Wise - "Master of Craft".
Stanley Kubrick - "Master of Perfection".
Sidney Lumet - "Master of Endings".
