Gimme Shelter.

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2003)

If you plan to see this zany Kubrick B&W masterpiece, you must first see the very good (and tense) cold war thriller "Fail Safe".
Dr. Strangelove lampoons the cold war era and political and scientific figures of the time, using the "Fail Safe" plot.
The (eventually to be) all star cast includes (three) great performances by Peter Sellers, an LBJ caricature by Slim Pickins, a very young James Earl Jones, Sterling Hayden (Capt. McCluskey in the Godfather), and best of all, a very 'hyper' George C. Scott.
It's fast moving, not too long, funny and although somewhat dated, well worth watching to give you a 'sense' of what was 'happening' at the very dawn of the age of Aquarius.
It'll make a great rainy afternoon 'fill-in' or first feature on your favorite movie night.
