Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb :starspin:Classic movie. :thumbup:

This is totally TOTALLY off-topic, but there is some movie trivia I sometimes mention whenever Strangelove pops into a discussion.

The movie came out in 1964.

THE VERY SAME YEAR, another of my all-time favorite movies came out, Fail Safe, starring Walter Matthau and Henry Fonda.

Exact same subject matter, but one was satirical and the other was a pure thriller. Both were very well-done.

I've watched the classic Fail Safe many times.

The contrast between the two films is unreal.

There is an interesting back story: Stanley Kubrick, the director of Dr. Strangelove, and author Peter George, sued the creators of Fail Safe for copyright infringement.

They settled out of court, which allowed Dr. Strangelove to be released eight months prior.

When the film made its debut later that year (1964) it bombed at the box office.

By that time Kubrick's satire had become a popular and critical success.

Sydney Lumet's Fail Safe was too real for audiences at that time.

True, but I think it may be too real for some members of the present-day audience. I could be completely wrong. There have been nuclear war (not a spoiler) movies and television series since its release, but that film left no pretense for imagination. None. It was dead serious from start to finish. The movie really does capture the essence of human nature. What we are capable of. And what we are willing to sacrifice to survive.
