Don't waste your time on this dated and unfunny film....

Rating: 2/10 (24 July 2010)

Goodness knows how the voters here can give this movie such a high mark. It is totally dated, unfunny, with Peter Sellers giving a slapstick performance as different characters which is so poor and ham-ish it would make participants in a school play blush.
The story is about a mad USA military commander who gives an order for fighter planes to bomb Russian, and the question is: can that order be countermanded or will their be a nuclear attack by mistake?
The only reason I give this picture 2/10 as there is perhaps maybe a couple of scenes mildly amusing like when a cola machine is smashed and someone gets coke in his face. But any humor is barely present as the film is really a vehicle to show how stupid and over rated that goon Sellers is, and much of the play seems to be ad libbed and made up as it goes along.
What a waste of time!
