This is a fantastic movie. It came at the right time, right when the weapons race between the Russians and the Americans was at it peak.

Instead of a war/disaster movie where we see the terrifying effects of a nuclear war Stanley Kubrick made a satire out of the nuclear war showing how much of a farce it was in real life.

Peter Sellers is brilliant in his three roles as the british officer, the U.S president and Dr. Strangelove. Especially Dr. Strangelove is hilarious when at the end of the movie we see his old Nazism tendencies (i assume that he was a German scientist escorted to the USA after WWII in Operation Paperclip) get the better of him.

There are only a few movies that have the ability to take such a deadly serious subject as in this case a nuclear war and turn it into a comedy. this movie Dr. Strangelove managed to do it with flying colours. This is truly Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece. And even though it's now 48 years ago that this movie came out and the threat of nuclear war is long gone it's still a very entertaining movie and every movie fan should see at least once in his lifetime.
