must see film

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2017)

Originally this film was supposed to be marketed to college Audiences. I think that was a complete mistake by people who do not understand the film. First, General Rippers paranoia stems from his conviction that floridation of the US water supply is a communist plot to destroy his ability to have sexual intercourse with a woman. The proof is in the pudding, because he tells his exec RAF Group Captain Mandrake (Peter Sellers) that he tried and failed. The rest of the movie steamrolls from here. Suffice to say it is fantastic. It is so realistic that when the movie debuted in theaters the USAF showed a disclaimer on the screen to terrified audiences assuring them that nothing like this could ever happen. Just see the film.
