Sterling Hayden was a very interesting dude. He never studied acting, looked at acting as just another job, and let the directors direct him and boom. Some reporters asked what his secret was and he replied, "I just learn the lines and do as I'm told." Hayden was actually a sailor, loved boats and loved the sea and acted only as a means to support that lifestyle and maintain his boat. When he was sailing no amount of money could lure him back to shore.

[@nononononononono379]

​@tedwojtasik8781 he also fought with Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia. He was a communist himself but was coerced by the FBI to giving up the names of other known communists in Hollywood. His career was essentially over , at least for major roles, until Kubrick begged him to play the part. The idea that Hayden is even playing this role was a joke in itself, and one of the best casting bets ever made.

Reportedly Peter Sellers himself had trouble keeping a straight face during these scenes with Sterling Hayden. There is another scene where General Ripper is cajoling Mandrake, putting his arm around him, and the latter is laughing very nervously at Ripper’s total insanity and his own inability to do anything about it. This was actually Sellers struggling to keep it together because he found Hayden so absurdly hilarious that he was on the verge of breaking the whole time, which Hayden was aware of and so was deliberately trying to wind Sellers up. It made for an amazing scene.

[@GearyDigit]

They did it in longer cuts and in less takes because they had to use physical film and had fewer cameras. You can't really just point to the few good, memorable movies from back in the day and say old movies are better, because we've simply forgotten the bad ones, just like we'll forget the bad, modern movies in due time.

hollywood could use a few Sterling Haydens. He left school at sixteen and went to sea. By the time he was 21 he had his captain's papers and was skipper of a cargo schooner that he took around the world. He tried acting and made two movies right before WW2 started. He quit to go to war. In WW2 he was a marine who was recruited into the OSS (precursor to the CIA). He spent the war in Yugoslavia behind Nazi lines where he commanded fishing boat that was used to rescue downed fliers and smuggle them to safety, deliver weapons to the resistance and conduct recon voyages of Naxi held waters. After the war he returned to movies and carved out a unique career that lasted three decades.When he got fed up with Hollywood nonsense he'd take to the water again and sail wherever his whims led.

Great camera angle. Some of the best movie dialog -- ever. Kubrick is a genius. I wonder what Joe McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover would have thought of this flick?

[@alarrain83]

The bodily fluids speech is, for me, the most hilarius line in the history of cinema.

Beautiful. Absolutely perfectly beautiful.

When Russian "president" started talking about American conspiracy to collect biomaterials or Ruski people, I immediately thought of this movie.

[@SuperStig23]

Although a black comedy Strangelove is still the best movie about the casual insanity of the Nuclear cold war, this scene played with absolute deadpan perfection by Sterling Hayden is one of the most frightening things I've ever seen, anybody else old enough to remember the 60's and 70's will agree, we were told to dive under our desks at school, duck and cover, it was all lies. The threat of Isis is but a pimple on the ass compared to the total extinction of ALL life on our Planet.

[@SuperStig23]

SuperStig23 I almost forgot that if they had Viagra back then General Ripper might never have sent the GO code.

[@edouardpierrebatemebande4393]

+SuperStig23 what is the go code

[@1pcfred]

The threat is not the same for everyone. The US might just blow any weapon out of the sky, on general principals. I'm not really sure what our policy there is? We do have the capability to do that today though.

[@1pcfred]

ShinXari While nuclear weapons have been proven in ideal test situations war is rarely an ideal circumstance. Under that manner of harsh conditions technological artifacts tend to break down frequently too. It is actually shocking how poorly some weapons systems work in battle compared to when tested. 90% can go down to 10%. That is usually attributed to operator stress. People panic, and make mistakes.

[@laughingalex7563]

+Paul Fredrick It still does not change the fact that there are still enough nukes in the world that even a single percent of them could easily wipe out most life on the earth :(.

[@harry2928]

"feed me Mandrake". a Thorazine-Haldol cocktail injection after securing him in an extra snug-fitting straitjacket would solve part of the problem. R.I.P. Mr. Sterling Hayden, an icon of cinematic history and Indelible in American nostalgia forever. we miss you sir.

[@mickeymousebiker1]

This STILL asks the question: "Do you really know what's in our drinking water?" I love the camera angle. What's in Ripper's cigar? Mandrake's response is one of total disbelief, as he shelves his true thoughts -- he also just goes along with Ripper (knowing full-well the General is insane). It's kinda like this every four years, when we vote.

[@mygaffer]

What a great movie.

[@johnleake5657]

My God, when I first read about the QAnon theories and the mad 'plandemic' theories, it was this that came to mind. America has a true talent for utterly barking mass hysteria, and they have 'gifted' these ideas to the rest of the world, God help us!

[@Astrobrant2]

One of the true master strokes in cinema history, these scenes between Ripper and Mandrake. Hayden and Sellers were peerless in these roles.

[@Danimal1577]

I am so using that line on women.

Clever, man ;) Making them laugh always works!

[@alruiz5096]

Yes, the camera angle and lighting are genious.

[@JohnLutherable]

poor Mandrake, the look on his face is one of a man looking at a completely deranged one

[@jameshood1928]

One of the most memorable films with great scenes between Sellers and Hayden. The moniker of precious bodily fluids has found it's way into our lexicon.

[@SSArcher11]

Sterling Hayden (Ripper) served in the OSS during WWII and earned a Silver Star. He must have seen the poignancy of this role. He also took a bullet from Michael Corleone.

[@MBDmediaman]

One of my favorite all time movies...Hayden from that angle makes him one of the most fearsome characters in film! Sellers wanted to play four roles instead of three. I shared a rented house in San Diego in 1965 with a former USAF B-52 navigator and he was astounded as to the cockpit details in the movie. Sellers in a wheelchair stole the show..was he supposed to be a young Kissinger, Nixon's Sec of State?

[@ArkadiBolschek]

I remember watching this film as a kid. The last thing I could have imagined back then was that the whole thing about water fluoridation was not a crazy rant made up by the writers to show that Gen. Ripper was several cards short of a deck: it was an actual conspiracy theory doing the rounds during the Red Scare, and thousands of people bought it. This is one of those instances in which knowing the context actually makes the joke less funny.

[@julialivingston-adams2909]

Depends how you look at it. The Red Scare itself got pretty ludicrous at times. I recall hearing about an experiment conducted by a certain magazine of the period, may have been the Reader's Digest. They sent people around with vague 'petitions' that used charged language lifted word for word from things like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Most people they asked refused to sign the flyers, afraid that do so would be to support Communism. And that was AFTER they had read them!

[@GearyDigit]

People still believe it. Here in these comments you can see countless people talking about the virtues of 'semen retention'.

[@NYCeesFinest]

Well it is true that fluoride is a deadly poison.

[@ArkadiBolschek]

So is chlorine, and we also put it in the water supply. So is *everything*, if the dose is more than your body can handle: you can poison yourself by drinking too much coffee. But those guys would have you believe that the water fluoridation program was a Communist plot to deliberately poison the population. Seriously.

[@NYCeesFinest]

ArkadiBolschek You fool go read the back of a vial of toothpaste it even has a warning not to ingest more than a pea-sized amount to call the poison control center immediately. One pea sized amount contains about 1/4 of a milligram of fluoride the same amount as in a glass of fluoridated tap water. So shut the fuck up and go drink your fluoride.

[@rynox77]

One of the most funny movies ever. This is the stuff organizations like The Onion are made of. Give it amazing cinematography and you have a classic comedy.

[@773SleepyHollow]

Generals Who Go Their Own Way.

[@muttilo]

You said it ! Sterling Hayden was soo good as McKluskey (?) in GFII as well ..As Sellers was unbelievable . I

[@cdfe3388]

I wonder if "Bombs Away" LeMay ever realized that Ripper was a caricature of him. This has to be one of the funniest movies of all time. Ripper wants to nuke Russia because he can't get it up. Turgidson is interrupted while banging his secretary. The Soviet chairman is interrupted while banging secretary as well. The world is going to hell because of sexual dysfunction. "I don't AVOID women...but I do...deny them my...uh...essence."

[@MrRobo001red]
