One of the best all-time dark comedies

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2000)

Peter Sellers is a riot in this one, playing three key roles and delivering one great performance. Particularly his role as the President is terrific, since most of his lines revolve around telephone calls to the Kremlin when you can't hear the other side of the conversation. Kudos also to Stanley Kubrick, who (as usual) delivers a strange yet satisfying path through the plot.
