The original “Doomsday Machine”…Kubrick edging out Trek by a few years!
I don’t think this is great as either humor or drama.
Pretty good (and brave) satire, though, especially given the date of release.
It’s another one of those movies that I’d LOVE to love.
I do find it interesting and fairly clever. And I chuckled a few times as well. I even laughed once, actually.
One of the chuckles: Emergency-Issue ‘Holy Bible & Russian Phrases’.
My main draw is Sellers’ gradual meltdown as Dr. Strangelove.
