Synopsis: An insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop.
Review: The story is not about Dr Strangelove directly but about the crazyness arising in people having power on nuclear weapons. This topic touches at every era, because weapons and massive destruction weapons exist since chemical weapons of the First world war and will not stop so soon. The rythm of the story is not so good and maybe a bit of music or sounds would have helped. The acting is typical 60s by exagerating a bit the characters so that it does not look authentic any more and all people look crazy. But on that time, it was normal and the people who were supposed to be crazy have a crazy look, and this is Dr Strangelove. The other crazy people are actually normal military officers. For the time, after the Cuba crisis, it is impressive to make such a critic movie in the USA without being put in jail as communist.
