George C Scott steals the show

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2011)

There have been a lot funnier Peter Sellers films in the past but i doubt there has been a more iconic one than Dr Strangelove. You forget how obsessive people used to be about the nuclear arms race and this film is a delightful , tongue in cheek look at look at what could happen is something goes wrong. It looks very fresh , even though it is black and white and the dialogue is very funny but not is a rolling around on the floor kind of way. Although the lead actor is Peter Sellers ( he plays three parts) the man who steals the show is George C Scott who plays the war mongering commie hating general. The scenes in the Aeroplane that is on course to drop the bomb is very interesting and i love the bit where the pilot rides the bomb. If you have not seen this before i recommend you get hold of it.
