The Perfect Black Comedy

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2003)

This is not only one of the greatest comedies ever made, it is probably one of the greatest films ever made, period. To take a serious subject like nuclear holocaust and turn it into something laughable was unimaginable at the time, but somehow this film made it work. The performances by Sellers, Scott and Hayden as well as the intelligent script and wonderful direction by the late, great, Stanley Kubrick helped make this film into a classic. However, one of the best performances had to have been from Keenan Wynne as Colonel Bat Guano. His performance in this film was sheer genius as he was looking for "deviated preverts". This film will always be among my personal favorites.
