Movie Review – Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) – 5 Stars
If there’s a better example of synergy between director and actor than Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers in ‘Dr. Strangelove’, than I haven’t seen it yet. This film is the perfect example of the right way to do political satire. It’s gritty, it’s dark, it’s hilarious, and it’s visually outstanding. And don’t think that this was only a Kubrick and Sellers show. Scott, Hayden, Wynn, and Pickens all do phenomenal in supporting Sellers three main roles. And let’s not forget Terry Southern’s sublime script, and his ability to work with Kubrick and Sellers’ daily updates to plots dialogues and themes.
