Details
"The next film to be shown on Sunday, May 3rd, 7:00 pm, at Steamer No. 10 Theatre in Albany is “Dr. Strangelove or how I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” (1964), Political Drama, satire, IMDB: 8.4, B&W, 95 min.
If there was ever a movie that deserved to be classified as black humor, this is it. A dystopian tale, deftly woven by Stanley Kubrick who also directs, as global nuclear war threatens, brought on by a whacked out general. Peter Sellers, without any sight gags or funny accents, plays three roles, one as hapless president, one as an influential presidential adviser who is clearly out of it and cannot move on beyond his involvement with the Nazis in WW II, and as British RAF officer in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also with George C. Scott as a seriously out of touch Air Force Chief of Staff, and Sterling Hayden as a clearly committable general.
Does a crazy person in an administration threatening global doom sound familiar? Enjoy!!
