Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. 1964.
A insane General Ripper of a American air base orders a attack on a Soviet base, while members in the war room at the Pentagon try to stop it.
Another Stanley kubrick classic film that no matter how many times you watch it, this film still brings a laugh with Peter Sellers playing three roles as Group Captain to Sterling Hayden's insane General Ripper, The President who seems to have a close relationship to Russia's Premiere Dimitri and German Dr. Strangelove who is wheelchair bound and thanks his Fuhrer that he can walk.
George C Scott plays the hard talking and trying to be serious General who seems to b quick with some comebacks and smart remarks and temperamental about letting foreigners in to the war room and see the big board, which his instincts tell him that he may be right.
The film does have it's moment of long sequences that shows how good the older generation of actors are performing without breaking a sweat and show what good classic acting is all about.
