You can't fight here, this is a war room!

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2001)

Truly a great classic. But I find that the comedy, even though it is subtile a lot of the time, is not as great as the thriller. This is an excellent suspense movie. And it must have been quite something to see this film back in 1964, at the peak of the Cold War. The black and white also adds to the thrill.
A lot of irony in this one. Examples: «You can't fight here, this is a war room», «Peace is our profession», etc.
I was truly surprised after viewing Dr. Strangelove to learn in this database that Peter Sellers was playing three roles in this one: Group Capt. Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley and Dr. Strangelove himself. Excellent performance by Sellers but also by George C. Scott and the rest of the cast.
Some may say that the movie is «passé» but I still find it pretty actual. Even though the Cold War ended more than a decade ago, nuclear power still exist and a lot of country now have the possibility to play with the lives of everybody around the world. Scary, isn't?
Out of 100, I gave it a 90. This is good for a perfect 10 in the IMDB voting section.
