But you'll have to answer to the Coca Cola company.

One of the best satires. And Peter Sellers was a genius! Troubled, but a genius.

I've got it on my PVR from when TCM showed it before.
Kubrick planned on Sellers playing Major Kong as well, even began filming and Sellers wanted nothin to do with that role on top of the three others he was already playing.

Sellers managed to get Kubrick to cast Slim, and the rest is history.

The three roles are great but I respect him getting Kubrick to alter his plan on a film far more, Kubrick was a stubborn visionary.

Fail Safe was on the other night too...that is like a serious Dr. Strangelove.
Larry Hagman's first serious role, Henry Fonda as the president.
The producers of Fail Safe were accused of plagiarizing Dr. Strangelove.
They actually bought the film to prevent it's release till well after Dr. Strangelove!
