As an old B-52 Jocky from the 80s I can tell you this movie was on constant rotation at the alert pad. All B-52 crews had to 'sit alert' for a 7-day stretch, so what else are you going to do. I've must have seen this movie a 100 times, never gets old.

What I like about it is all the electro-mechanical Sixties kit. Far more heart than soul-less current digital tech! IIRC, neither Kubrick nor his production or design staff had been given access to USAF B-52 interior designs, and the USAF was not happy about their designs using Open Source Intelligence, as it's called nowadays. Up the BUFFs!

Watch Slim Pickens lips carefully when you hear that. The original line was "A fella could have a pretty good time in Dallas with all that stuff". The film was set to be first screened on November 22, 1963, but was delayed until January 1964 due to the assassination of President Kennedy and the line was dubbed from "Dallas" to "Vegas" in post-production.

It IS something important! Throughout the movie the B-52 crew behaves heroically and thoroughly American.

Fun Fact: Kubrick had to guess where the crew stations were on the B-52 set as he wasn't allowed access to an actual plane. the result was so close to accurate he was apparently questioned by the FBI as to where he got the information. Turns out he simply arranged the duty stations in positions where they made sense ergonomically.

I'm fairly sure that was actually a bit of counter-intelligence. Of course the inner workings of a B-52 and it's crew *were* top secret at the time, and the various people involved in producing the film made it clear that they had no idea. The interior was all made up. But that posed a good opportunity to sell the Russians a lie. Make it seem like you're angry and they'll think it's real!

@@jsmariani4180 A very fortunate accident. Kubrick did not like the idea of Sellers playing multiple roles, but the studio wanted it because of his performance in Lolita. Sellers made it work though, much of his dialogue was improvised and rewritten into the screenplay. Slim Pickens was called in and the British film crew thought he was already in character when he arrived. The recognition he got from the role boosted his pay per film by about 5x.

3:50 - I remember an interview with James Earl Jones, where he says that this scene was to be cut, but Jones fought it, because besides that this scene was what defined his character, it is also pivotal to the story, because it obliterates the notion that those soldiers are just blind marionettes - they consider their actions, and are fully aware of their consequences. Rest in peace, James Earl Jones!

Boy, how James Earl Jones evolved! Both he and the late great David Prowse (the two main actors behind Darth Vader in the original 1977 _Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope_ ) got their starts with Stanley Kubrick and were pooled by George Lucas into creating a most significant villain of cinema. The nightmarish love child of Lt. Lothar Zogg the Bombardier from this film and Julian the Bodyguard from Kubrick's later film _A Clockwork Orange._
