Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove is often cited as one of the all-time great satirical black comedies. With a stellar cast that includes Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, and a young James Earl Jones. The film sees a USAF General order an unauthorised nuclear strike on Russia, after seemingly going mad. It's down to a handful of men to try and stop it..or not. Dark humor, amazing sets, cinematography and lighting make Strangelove a firm favourite to this day. The boys also talk about their thoughts on the recent stage adaptation starring Steve Coogan.Check out our website for more - www.fightingonfilm.comWe are thrilled to partner with www.warfaremedia.net who have an incredible range of Cold War posters!
