About this movie

Stanley Kubrick's black comedy classic about an "accidental" nuclear attack received four Oscar nominations*(including Best Picture, 1964). Convinced the Commies want to pollute America's "precious bodily fluids," a crazed general (Sterling Hayden) orders a nuclear air strike on the U.S.S.R. As his aide, Captain Mandrake (Peter Sellers), scrambles to unlock a recall code to prevent the bombing, the U.S. President (Sellers again) calls a drunken Soviet Premier on the hotline claiming the proposed attack is all a silly mistake, while the President's advisor (an ex-Nazi scientist) Dr. Strangelove (Sellers once more) verifies the existence of a dreaded Doomsday Machine — a retaliatory device designed by the Soviets to end the human race once and for all! 1963, renewed 1991 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

I like stars and I like Peter Sellers because hes a star. I use present tense as you have read because Peter Sellers the actor is always with us unfortunately Peter Sellers the person isnt which is a great shame. As we know lifes within us for the shortest period even if we were to reach 100 years of age its but a blip on earth's ticking clock. Actors male female children and babies all cheat earths ticking clock. Luckily I've got a secret - email your bank account info to inspectorcluso@itsa.con

This is a comic version of fail safe, but worthy of the score. The great peter sellers is well supported by a host of amazing actors like george c scott..satire at its best...the brink only is a close contender to this delight!
