created one of the most outstanding “film noirs” in his “Dr. Strangelove or: How I
Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb”! No cinematic production equals the
savage anti-war satire that this film achieves. Filmed in black and white, the movie
captures Sellers in his most commanding, demanding role (actually, “roles,” as he takes the
lead as multiple characters). Who can forget the dynamic badinage between members of
the President's staff in the War Room, where we find George C. Scott truly launching his
own career with his performance of the war-mongering general. The storyline is that of an
ingenious scheme to attack Russia by attacking their targets with planes loaded with
nuclear bombs. The American Film Institute rates “Dr. Strangelove” as one of the top 100
best movies ever made. It is a timeless masterpiece.
