Seller's and Kubrick

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2012)

Peter Sellers is the president of the United States, a British exchange officer and Dr. Strangelove, a character inspired by Edward Teller, the inventor of the hydrogen bomb.
George C. Scott as General Buck Turgidson informs President Muffley(Sellers) that we may be under attack by the Russians and that we need to launch a preemptive first strike. Muffley attempts to deescalate the possible disaster but the military is determined to destroy the Soviet Union.
The rumor of a doomsday device which will eliminate all life on earth follows and Dr. Strangelove advises the president that enough people can be buried in a mine shaft for the human race to continue.
This a black comedy at the highest level and one of Seller's best.
