Zany and thought-provoking at the same time

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2002)

I have seen this film on a number of occasions and have always found it entertaining. The unprovoked, paranoid actions of the commander who issues plan "R", and Kong's comments on the supply kit, are two of the most zany bits. I also like the rule about not fighting in the war room, a room which didn't exist, but Ronald Reagan asked where it was when he became President.
James Earl Jones, also seen in another similar film "By Dawn's Early Light", puts in an excellent performance. The multiple characters played by Peter Sellers, especially Strangelove himself, are also excellent.
