Description
Stanley Kubrick's black comedy classic about an "accidental" nuclear attack received four Oscar nominations in 1964, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Convinced the Commies want to pollute America's "precious bodily fluids", a crazed general (Sterling Hayden) orders a nuclear air strike on the USSR. As his aide, Captain Mandrake (Peter Sellers), scrambles to unlock a recall code to prevent the bombing, the US President (Sellers again) calls a drunken Soviet Premieron the hotline claiming the proposed attack is a silly mistake, while the President's advisor (and ex-Nazi scientist) Dr. Strangelove (Sellers yet again) verifies the existence of a dreaded Doomsday Machine - a retaliatory device designed by the Soviets to end the human race once and for all.
Even fourty years after it was made, Dr. Strangelove remains not only one of the most intelligent political satires ever made, but one of the funniest comedies of all time.
