    "Thing is they make such bloody good cameras." That line kills me the way he delivered it after that serious account of his time as a POW.

    The two close up shots of Ripper- the earlier one when he had just lit the cigar, imposing and menacing, focussed, his cigar puffing away like a powerful locomotive, his face in heavy shadow. And this one, at the the end, in brighter light, the cigar gone out, a look of exhausted confusion on his sweaty face. Less the macho general, more the senile, demented old man. Of all the insane characters ever caught on film, he's one of the most magnetic.

    Macabre as it is, that's one of my favorite scenes. The dialogue is just 'dripping with irony and Mandrake's feckless effort to ignore the stark reality of Ripper's utter madness and 'reason' wth him, makes the whole thing hilarious, albeit in the 'darkest' way possible. I absolutely LOVE how Sellers delivers that line about the Japanese and their expertise with cameras vs. their propensity for torture. Sellers was a major photography aficionado himself and undoubtedly inserted that zinger (with Kubrick's assent, of course) :)

    Note the complete change in Sellers' face when Ripper says, "You know those clowns outside are going to give me a pretty good going-over in a few minutes . . . for the code." Really excellent acting here.

    Ripper was worried about being tortured and not being able to stand it because they would have beat him relentless over a matter of minutes to get the code.

    3 spies from England, France and Italy were sent to the USSR.
    After a week they were captured and put in jail. The Russians took the English spy, tied and tortured him and after 20 minutes he gave all the info.
    Then the Russians took the French spy. They tied and tortured him, and after 20 minutes he too gave all the info.
    Then they took the Italian spy and did the same to him, but he didnt give any info. They kept torturing him for 3 hours but with no luck. Eventually they gave up and put him back in the cell.
    The 2 other spies asked him “How did you do that? They tortured us like crazy!” The Italian replied: “I wanted to give all my info, but they tied my hands up my back :)

    One thing that's commonly missed is that everyone keeps sayin P.O.E. is the code when if you watch closely the code was actually O.P.E. as in what midwesterners say when they make a mistake or narrowly avoid one.

    The synopsis on this page has a couple of details wrong. Neither Gen. Turgidson nor the titular Dr. Strangelove was involved in the plot to launch the squadron of B-52's toward the USSR. They were rather cogs in the machine that was the whole subject of this movie.

      It was also planned that Sellers would also plan in addition to the three characters, two more. I’m sure he could have done so, but the result with the three was superb and, of course, fantastic. I believe one of the two would have been the Slim Pinkins’ role, the Air Force head pilot. But, Slim Pinkins was also superb.
