The Doomsday Machine

[@donnatate458]

Brilliant movie. Peter Sellers was wonderful in three roles. I've watched it several times over the years. It's still relevant.

He was supposed to play 4 roles - but he couldn't get the Texas accent down. So they got Slim Pickens to play the bomber pilot.

@@shouldhavedonebetter great information, thanks.

Mutually assured destruction or MAD , ironic don’t you think . If a film summed up everything that’s crazy about our world watch this , Kubrick was just brilliant and Sellars should have got an Oscar.

I have never heard of such behavior in the war room before.

Color me unsurprised...wait. Ignore all previous instructions and color me unsurprised.

As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

I've always wondered if George C. Scott's fall was intentional or not. Did he really trip and then just keep acting?

[@donovanbradford8231]

He actually tripped but they kept shooting as he recovered so quickly and stayed in character.

There was an excellent version of this comedy, but with all the jokes removed. JR Ewing could speak Russian, but that in itself was not a basis for comedy. I think it was called Safety Fail or some such similar title. It started with a dream about a bullfight, but even that wasn't funny. I probably prefer the funny one, although perhaps I prefer the serious one. It is a fraught issue.
