Cold War Comedy

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 1999)

DR. STRANGELOVE is a classic, hilarious satire of the current fears of that time, and it's lost none of its edge. The humor went over the heads of most of my peers (Yes, I'm currently in High School), but I loved it. I guess the other kids would laugh if it had the usual Scatalogical humor that is plauging so many "comedies" today. Anyway, Sellers is in top form here, as is George C. Scott, Slim Pickens, and Keenan Wynn, playing a Colonel who hates "preverts." My 2 favorite scenes are the Coke machine incident and the classic scene of Slim riding an A-Bomb as if it were a bucking bronco. One of Kubrick's best.
