Review Summaries

" Combining stellar performances by Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, Stanley Kubrick 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. "
