(6,852 posts)1. One of the funniest movies of all time.
And with some of the best actors....My favorite was Sterling Hayden as General Jack Ripper...

Possibly the GOP presidential nomination.

It was only after I saw the movie that I found out he also played the president...and that think he did with his gloved hand was all improvised.

(20,166 posts)9. I also think I heard Sellers was supposed to play the Slim Pickens character
but he had a heart attack and had to drop the role. I'm sure Sellers would have done a great job, but it's hard to imagine the movie without Slim in it.

And I cannot imagine anyone different in that role.
