It hasn't aged well.

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2019)

Kind of dated. I get what it's trying to say and it's not that it's subtle it's just kind of lacklustre. I'm a bit so what about it all.
The multiple characters of Peter Sellers just feel self indulgent and it takes a long time for this movie to smugly come round to the revelation that not all politicians are the most admirable of people.
It's not a comedy and it's not a dark comedy. They tack on a comedic tone to the familiar red scare paranoia caricatures and you can almost here the canned laughter.
And of course you shouldn't fight in a war room. That's not ironic at all.
