Stanley's genius was augmented by his capacity to get the best crew and actors and get the best creative output from them. The perfect control freak navigating to perfection.
Peter Sellers, Slim Pickings and Stirling Hayden’s best ever film and an all time film classic for me, quite brilliant! A great debut by James Earl Jones too as well as many other gifted actors who played supporting roles so, so well ! Stanley Kubrick‘s genius throughout is masterfully evident! Gaaaaarrrrd it was sooooooo goooooood!
My Brother-in-Law had been an Electronics Tech in the Air Force who worked on the B-52 in the late 50's early 60s who watched that movie with me when it first aired it on tv because he wanted to see how much they got right and he said" Yeah, that's a B-52 cockpit. They have some things covered up and some numbers wrong on the dials; but I'll never tell."
The makers of this doc attribute the character of Strangelove to Fritz Lang's early work, but I think the movie "Dr. No" was more influential. It went into release while "Strangelove" was being filmed, it was a gigantic hit, the production designer was also Ken Adam, and it dealt with an evil genius with mechanical hands.
Apart from being a brilliant satire, we should perhaps also appreciate Dr. Strangelove being the first attempt outside documentaries and army movies to a more realistic depiction of procedures involving nuclear warfare (ok, maybe not the bomb riding part). Another movie with comedic elements, which is nevertheless realistic at times, would be 'War Games' (first scene in nuclear bunker for example).
I love how Darth Vader says when I walked on to the set I knew we were in a invested movie....I just watched pirates of the Caribbean part 3 yesterday.....budget 300 million box office 990 million...
Rumour has it, Peter was supposed to play an alien in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The alien looked like a horn-helmeted Viking, but sounded like Queen Victoria! Reportedly was too close to the truth.
Top quality film got so cold in there planes the film just flaked away....but some how 70 mm camera and motion picture film on the apollo missions made it in perfect condition and resolution at -225 and +225 degrees Fahrenheit ....but obviously your NASA Mason's had magical powers with the temperature and those van Allen belts
Maybe its due to the moisture in the artic region compared to high altitude flight? The early spy sat experiements were unpresurised and had the same problems with the film disintgrating.
That amazing Boeing B-17G aircraft, registered F-BEEA, was destroyed in a take-off accident at Grimsby-Binbrook Airport (GSY), United Kingdom in 1989 ... 🤕 🤓

Slim Pickens
Peter sellers was the greatest multiroll actor of all time.

I'm 51 years old my daughter 15 asked me what's your favorite movie I sat there and ponder it for a moment ,Catch 22 and dr. Strangelove ,
Two of mine too.
You can't fight here ,,this is the War room.

War Games was also responsible for kick starting the home computer revolution!
THIS IS GREAT STUFF, WHAT A COLLECTION OF TALENT. GEORGE C SCOTS 'TURGETSON WAS FANTASTIC TOO.
"that baby will come in so low it'll be roasting chickens in the barnyard".
Turgidson, a name fitting for the guy obsessed with sex. Turgid is the word you'd use to describe an erect penis.
This is one of the best political satire movie ever done imo
"Bat Guano, if that really is your name...."
"A spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!" Afghanistan here we come... And there we'll stay until till it's time for us to go.

8:42 Dr. StrangeLove is designed on the German technicians
(such as Von Braun) that went to work in USA after the IIWW
Peter Sellers DID a really good job sounding german.
My dad saw it in theater back when it was originally released. Said he couldn't stop laughing, while everyone else took it seriously and freaked!
"One for the price of three" ~Stanley Kubrick reference to Peter Sellers

- Land the damn airplane! What is your cargo?
- The bomb. The bomb, Dimitry. The hydrogen bomb.
In my top ten movies of all time
On The Beach, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and now this...at age 10 I thought I would never get to be age 11
Sellers +Kubrick =Brilliance (no Oscar nominations???) 👉😷👈👉🇬🇧👈👉🙏
Of course I like to say Hello!
Its a good thing Viagara came along when it did. May have averted disaster.
4:53 four parts!
