Sellers & Hayden kept laughing so much while trying to do the fluoridation scene that this was the best take Kubrick could get-and obviously he kept Mandrake’s piteous chuckling because it added to the scene. It’s very subtle but Hayden is struggling not to crack up laughing as well.

[@richinoable]

The tension reads not as, "quit trying to make me laugh", but as "omfg this guy's nuts"/"feels really good to share".

[@hoilst265]

Hayden's slight smile from trying to not to crack up really does add to how unhinged he is.

[@Soaps4815]

1:46 I can see Hayden crack a smile

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

"Are you beginning to understand?"-Ripper "Yes..."(despairing giggling ensues)-Mandrake That line delivery where Mandrake truly begins to comprehend just how far gone into utter insanity Ripper has fallen is both disturbing and hilarious at the same time.

[@isabeamon1190]

Stanley Kubrick created a satirical cinematic masterpiece with this film. Peter Sellers and Sterling Hayden certainly did their part, or parts in the case of Sellers.

[@LordZontar]

I love how Sellers plays this scene. Mandrake is really struggling not to collapse into terrified hysteria around this lunatic who just started a nuclear war over fluoridation. Played for comedy but it really is one of the more subtly dramatic scenes of the movie when you look at it close.

im still concerned about the mineshaft gap

[@hayfordsarfo1646]

especially at 1:22. the nervous laughter

[@thefutureisnow7300]

Actually, the truth is Peter Sellers is struggling to hold in his laughter. This whole scene with the dialogue on water and bodily fluids was completely outlived. Peter Sellers is struggling to stay in character and to remain composed. So the nervous laughter is actually Peter releasing partially some of the laughter that he couldn’t hold inside. But he played it so wellthat it actually gave the impression that mandrake is struggling to keep his sanity together while having to live listen to all the nutty ranting from the general

[@johcafra]

Consider at least two of the indelible impressions from my very first viewing of this movie at a fairly impressionable age: I didn't know who Peter Sellers was, and I didn't know this was a satire.

[@augustlandmesser1520]

And at the which moment did you got that impression? 🙂

[@johcafra]

@@augustlandmesser1520 From the very beginning. I had to read more about the movie after viewing it several times. Some decades later I read the source novel by one of the screenwriters (Peter George). Read that and you may agree on Kubrick deciding to turn the story into a satire.

[@michaeljacksin9367]

The struggling with the golf clubs and sterling Hayden trying not to laugh 😂

[@knutfjeldheim9215]

RFK Jr must have seen this scene at a very impressionable age😁

[@ronagoodwell2709]

That we can laugh about impending nuclear annihilation means we are of a piece with this film.
