Remarkable use of satire to convey the most chilling of "doomsday" scenarios

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2017)

This movie was released during the height of the cold war and it works because instead of inspiring panic or fear it uses satire and comedy to convey the sum of all fears.
There are some great one liners... including President Merkin Muffley saying "No fighting in the War Room"! It is Kubrick at his best with the genius of Peter Sellers and some great performances by George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden (Jack D. Ripper - what a name!). The chilling last lines of Dr Strangelove (including the Mein Fuhrer) are just writing genius.
Today with North Korea again beginning to threaten Nuclear WAr - the "Doomsday" scenario - is again worth contemplating (tragically) - a truly memorable movie - one that will never grow old...
