Classic Film becoming Dated

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2006)

This is a great cast as Peter Sellers is at the top of his career here. George C Scott is good in support & Slim Pickens is to me the only cowboy who can ride home one of them bombs are git split all over them Ruskies. The film itself technologically is becoming dated. The plot to this is very parallel to the serious film FAIL SAFE which also is a classic edition of the cold war themes in the 1950 & 1960's films often.
The difference is this one is very much played for laughs & the comedy, black & otherwise is here in abundance. I think as the late Sellers memory fades away, this film will become less watched. That is a shame, but at least this one will always be around for a look at his best. Sellers plays two roles & is outstanding at both.
Favorite quote from the film is - "There is no fighting allowed in the war room!"
