Even if it's from a technological standpoint, I still could give a shit. Script, acting, message, that is the greatest film ever made. I don't think I've ever come away from a film questioning my humanity as I did with Dr. Strangelove.

not to forget George C Scott and Slim Pickens. The plot was good (though not terribly original), but the execution was awesome. On top of that was an awakening moment for its viewers, to stop and ask "is this all a big game for big wigs in Washington play"...."what about me!". And props to best named characters.... Mufley Mirkern, Capt. Kong, and my favorite: Colonel Bat Guano.

39. Follows the story line of "Red Alert", a grimly serious novel ...
Sat Jan 28, 2012, 06:30 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Alert_(novel)

A genre of such topical fiction sprang up in the late 1950s – led by Nevil Shute's On the Beach – of which Red Alert was among the earliest examples.


A very similar novel, Fail Safe , was used as the basis for a movie, released in the same year (1964), from the same studio, as Strangelove, and a 2000 live B/W "teleplay". The similarities between the two novels led to a lawsuit and out-of-court settlement. I saw the 1964 Fail Safe only after seeing Strangelove. It would be hard to say which was the more believable movie.

BTW, that was Merkin Muffley.

You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?"
