- This clip is from "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1964.
I wish to use this video under the doctrine of fair use; I will be embedding and commenting on it in my scholarly research blog.
"You see, the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost.... if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the vorld?!"
It was to be announced at the party congress on Monday. You know how the premier loves surprises.
How can I flag an entire comment chain?
Thomas Begen I can no longer allow... troll infiltration, troll subversion, and the international troll conspiracy, to sap and impurify, all of our precious commentary fluids.
"It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises." :)
thinking the same thing...lol
Until he was called, Strangelove’s presence was invisible but once he’s called, we meet what has to be the most notorious mad scientist ever.
Cool thing is that he's there all along, quiet and unassuming like 99% of the others, long before he is even required in the scene.
@@thomasvleminckx Probably because he is also played by the president so they can't exactly have them on the screen at the same time.
@@thomasvleminckx Well you know how Nazis were big on keeping ORDER!
@@SovereignStatesman that's OHHHR-DEH, to you, kind sir.
OP -- most notorious? Victor Frankenstein begs to differ....
and maybe Oppenheimer; he died with remorse, so he might let you call him mad after his invention
Well when George c Scott was explaining the situation before I remember for sure u seen Dr Strangelove sitting near the end.
The part when he falls on the floor and then casually goes on as if nothing happened is comedy genius, cracks me up every time
i wonder if that was part of the script
Darius Duesentrieb, It wasn't.
It wasn't, and George Scott was furious with Kubrick for including it in the final cut. Scott and SK had major creative differences while making this film; as a result, Scott refused to ever work with SK again.
"They're getting ready to clobber us!"
I love the Fall!
I love his enthusiasm at the end. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD, EH?!?"
Still probably my favorite movie ever.
As you know, the Premier loves surprises.
"...it requires only the vil to do so..." struggles to control the right arm.

A fantastic choice!
"Gee I wish we had one of them Doomsday machines". Possibly one of the most subtly funny lines in the entire film.
Did u know there are thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at the U.S by foreign countries
High quality black humor, like "It's beginning to look like Gen Ripper exceeded his authority". :)

@@georgegreenberg5267 not anymore. It's well under 100 now after disarmament
1:45 "A moment, PLEASE, Mr. President." *LOUD, DRAMATIC CLANKING* honestly underrated moment.
That clank was him slamming his foot on the ground to push his wheelchair away, but in all honesty really shows Strangelove's mad presence.
The video cuts off the last line of the scene. The exchange at the end comprises the best two lines in the whole movie!
Strangelove: "The whole point of a doomsday machine is lost . . .IF YOU KEEP IT A SECRET! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD, EH?!"
Ambassador: "It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Saturday. The Premier loves surprises."
monday*
My dad's favorite part
It also makes way more sense with that line. Keep in mind another reason why this is all hilarious, darkly so. Is because the Russian Premier is called on the red line while the president of the US tries to walk this disaster back, and while we never hear his side, he's definitely still quite drunk from the party.
Mind explaining what makes these the best lines? Just curious, cause I didn't even see a joke there. Could be because I lived in Russia.
I don't know why, but I always laugh when Strangelove says "A moment please Mr. President", pushes himself away from the table with a funny noise, and then starts pathetically wheeling himself across he floor.
I love that George C Scott tripped but was back on his feet and continued his line delivery as though nothing had happened. He didn't even pause or show any hint of embarrassment, frustration or pain. I have a feeling that falling over wasn't intentional on Scott's part - Kubrick tricked him into thinking that he was rehearsing - but the man was a consummate professional so he just kept going without missing a beat.
Makes the scene more real which is always good.
The joke with Dr. Strangelove's original surname is "Merkwürdigliebe" is actually "Strangelove" in German.
+moshomaniac1 When I found that out I would lose my shit every time I saw this scene.
+moshomaniac1 I think the joke or suggestion by Kubrick is that Strangelove is a German scientist who was brought to America via Opperation Paperclip. Hence, his Nazi ideas.

Get the net, there is an empty cot in the nervous hospital
Joku Muuz you're right
@@dasein9980 He is a German, yes, and a (former?) Nazi. He even adresses the President as "Mein Führer" later once. It is a reference to Operation Paperclip.
Sellers is a genius. The President and Strangelove in the same scene, and you will certainly forget it is the same actor playing both roles. Amazing!
He plads 4 roles in this movie. He declined to play a fifht…
4? I thought it was 3:
1. President Merkin Muffley
2. Dr. Strangelove
3. RAF Group Captain Lionel Mandrake
What character was the fourth?
@@theosprey7111i would argue doctor strangelove’s hand is the fourth character
'...our source was the New York Times....' genious! . Well, the whole movie is a masterpiece.
That was back when the Times was still doing actual journalism. 😜
@@crazyman8472 Because they don't support neon-colored terrorist leaders. Oh well, the truth is the truth..... I guess.
It's not the newspaper. It's the opinion paper.
Funniest part is Soviets genuinely got information from US newspapers during the Cold War.
@@beckettstevens9529 the information gap...
A Doomsday Gap LMAO. This is without a doubt one of the greatest films ever made.
Believe it or not, its a thing, and happily that no longer is the case...
Not even....
I agree my friend!!
+Dennis Duncan I've said that my entire life. This is the greatest film ever made. I wonder what Kubrick would think of this generation.
Graham6762 I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry Dimitri! I am as sorry as you!! Don't say that you're more sorrier than I am, cause I can be sorry as well!
This scene is actually such an accurate explanation of nuclear deterrence theory that it is used in classrooms. He hits on all 3 major points of deterrence theory.
That and this "Doomsday machine" was built 21 years later in Russia called Dead Hand
Peter should have won the academy award. Brilliant.
HamerSlammerSeries he should have won 3 academy awards :)
Yeah. Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady wasn't deserving.
Yeah, he was really great.
@@linkbiff1054 yeah he’s not even the titular character!
Fantastic art design of the War Room by Bond set designer Sir Ken Adam who is still going strong at 94.
It must be one of the finest set pieces in film history
Re-watched last night....and thought same same...: )
Ken Adam was also the designer of Fort Knox for the movie Goldfinger. When he mentioned how he had no reference photos to work from to come up with a realistic Fort Knox set, Bond director Guy Hamilton told him, "Look Ken, NOBODY'S ever really been inside the place, so just design whatever the hell you want. The audience will never know". With that, Adam went for the grand scale and the result was so impressive that he got a complimentary letter from the comptroller of Fort Knox congratulating him on the imaginative scope of his creation.
Sadly Mr. Adam passed away in 2016.
Ken Adam was actually a German emigre to England before the war. He ended up flying fighters for the RAF against Germany, and if he'd been shot down or captured would have gone up before a firing squad. This story was in one of the extended special features after one of the Bond film DVD's... Later! OL J R :)
I love the way Strangelove says computer
KommPueteR...
I like the way that he says *human* as if it were derogatory.
I love that you love it.
Saw this in 1964 when it came to the theaters. Have watched it several times since, in several decades, finding it funnier and more brilliant each time. Kubrick and a cast of greats.
also more relevant with every passing year.
Funnier and funnier, but also scarier and scarier.
"We were afraid of a doomsday gap" This movie is brilliant!
I love the hell out of this movie, I've just can't believe how much of the stuff they're able to say with a straight face
Later during one of Dr Strangelove's rants you can see the Russian struggling not to laugh.
I love how his right hand, the "Nazi" hand, tries to get the cigarette. After scientists found the link between smoking and cancer Hitler became extremely anti smoking. He wouldnt tolerate people smoking in his presence (which was otherwise completely normal at the time).
Hitler was also vegetarian... LOL:) OL J R :)
So was Newton, Steve Jobs, Tesla, ramanujan etc..
@@happybear3706really worked for out for jobs
@@lukestrawwalker He was also on very high doses of opium and amphetamines. Quite the combo...
So in other words, Hitler was a cigarette Nazi.
Though he never advocated pursuing the Doomsday Machine, *Dr. Strangelove seems in love with it.*
well he stopped worrying about it.
A 56 year old movie that still holds up like it was released 5 years ago
I saw it in my city's historic movie palace in 2012. The audience cheered and applauded at the famous lines.
60 years old as of today!
Love how he changed his name to English, but it's the same exact meaning in German. Kubrick could do anything, satire, horror, period- What a genius.
Sellers is brilliant in all 3 characters.
i didnt even noiticed that he plays these three roles ;)
Originally supposed to play 4 characters (Major T. "King" Kong) but a leg injury prevented him from working inside the plane's set.
He had actually mastered a Texas accent for that part as well. They say it was really good.
one of the only true actings I have ever seen
@@richardlangdon712 luckily we got slim pickens for that role. a purebred texan at that too!
Mister Ambassador the whole point of the Doomsday Machine is lost, IF YOU KEEP IT A SECRET WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD EH. ....Brilliant just brilliant
Did you notice the Russian ambassador trying very hard not to smile while Strangelove was doing his thing?
"It was to be announced at the party congress on Monday as you know the premier loves surprises."
@@thel0n3lytramp63 The Soviets were notorious for keeping secrets even from their own people, even if (often especially if) they would have been better off being open. As "Dr Strangelove" said, the entire point of the doomsday device was that it *not* be a secret, yet the Soviet penchant for secrecy prevailed.
@
Shame the *logician* doesn't understand stupidity-level logic. If you tell the world of such a device, you put the warning into their heads. You make them aware of what will happen should they make the wrong step.
That way they know how to step.
If you don't tell them, and let them make a wrong step without knowing that they did it...well...that should be common sense.
@@davecrupel2817 *Your original comment was better.*
I'm an old guy. I can assure you that the Cold War had its scary moments (especially during Oct. 1962). This movie is just brilliant.
Ya know, we're still in the cold war.
@@DjeauxSheaux I thought it was the luke warm war now.
1:00 "Ah itms an obvious communist trick, Mr President! we're wasting valuable t-iiime!"
*THAT FALL AND PICK-UP WAS NOT SCRIPTED.*
i don't get it
Hved Dørek George C Scott wasn’t supposed to slip on the floor but he saved the shot by scampering right back up and finishing his line.
He kept going through the fall
Sometimes the best scenes are ad libbed.
@@davidw.2791 Shows how good an actor Scott was. There aren't many people who could continue their line so fluently whilst falling over.
Along with Sellers doing Strangelove, the movie is jam-packed with golden moments: Airplanes fucking in the opening scene. Sterling Hayden's closeup monologues about wartime politics and impotence. Meek POTUS calling the Soviet president. Slim Pickens riding the bomb. Keenan Wynn's CocaCola scene. George C. Scott's gum-chewing-over-the-top-performance in every scene he's in.
Just a masterpiece of cinema.
DINT FORGET THE SIGN PEACE IS OUR PROFESSION😂
it is said that Kubrick tricked Scott into doing over-the-top acting to achieve the comical effect he wanted with Turgidson. however, Scott was highly uncomfortable with the idea, and when those scenes were used for the film Scott deeply resented it
oh well. thats why kubrick was the director and scott wasnt
Sounds right
From IMDb trivia: "George C. Scott was reputedly annoyed that Stanley Kubrick was pushing him to overact for his role. While he vowed never to work with Kubrick again, Scott eventually saw this as one of his favorite performances."
its called acting
Scott had played charachters that were lighthearted, one example was The Flim Flam Man. A great movie if you happen to catch it.
"The commies are about to klobber us!" he said pointed to a map showing US war planes bearing down on Russia.
Each time I watch his I find new jokes about the absurdity of the cold war.
But the cold war wasn't absurde it worked beautifully The great powers of the world went to war 2 times in less than 50 years killed 103 Million people Nukes and MAD stopped WW3 from happening
he's pointing to the map of the U.S. with the Russian dots all around it
The Russians had the same plan they just had slightly longer flight paths hence mutually assured destruction being the policy.
@Dan Man It's genuinely astonishing, they're lost in a fever dream, killing the United States in the unshakable belief that they're saving the United States because they can't tell the difference between Stalinist Russia and the Netherlands
@@Ghastly_Grinner only through sheer luck and the hard work of a few people. Nuclear war nearly happened multiple times. Look up Stanislav Petrov
I have to say that this was the best film I ever saw. It was perfect. The glee in Strangelove's eyes when he is speaking of death and destruction. The Russian Ambassador's inside knowledge of The Kremlin. A machine gun in a golf bag. Major "Bat" Guano. How many major laughs are in this movie???
"... the Bland corperation." Lol!! Of course, meaning the Rand corporation. This movie is absolute genius in its entirety. Peter Sellers is pure genius in this too. Leave it to Kubrick to put together a great flick like this.
For the record, Daniel Ellsberg (the guy who leaked the Pentagon papers) called this a documentary, (if only tongue and cheek).
"Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines!"
Newsflash, we are probably going to.
thingsy
I like the end "the hole point of a doomsday machine is lost if YOU KEEP IT A SECRET, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD ?"
3:05 The contempt in his voice when he says *'Human'* meddling!!
God damn, how did Scott do that?! I love that Kubrick kept rolling even though that was obviously a slip up!
which part?
@@PhoenixPilot The part where the guy was walking backwards, fell on his ass, did a backwards somersault, and then sprang back up - all while continuing to say his lines. About 0:98 - 1:05
Kubrick had a knack for these kinds of mistakes. Very clever, the actors were very deep into there rolls it added a different element that you would probably not get if they redid the clip again.
Are there any materials out there that suggest, or even prove this information?
Peter Bull, amazing underrated actor
I also love how Strangelove emphasises certain words that can be associated with Nazi ideology (" it requires only the VILL to do so")
+JohnLutherable I think the joke or suggestion by Kubrick is that Strangelove is a German scientist who was brought to America via Opperation Paperclip. Hence, his Nazi ideas.
+Thomas Begen yes of course, I found it just funny how words such like "will" (from, say, Triumph of the Will, a well known Nazi propaganda movie) cause Strangelove to break out of his facade and show his hidden feelings, lol
+JohnLutherable "Animals could be bred and SLAUGHTERED!"
Yes, exactly. That is very well played.
"...But it is necessary for the... PRESERVATION of the... human race..."
Here we are in 2022.
Going in circles
James Earl Jones is still around. We could make him our drone bombardier.
"Why didn't you tell the world, eh???"
"Is that the whole point of a doomsday is lost if you keep it a secret.....
*WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD EH?"*
Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers - both absolutely BRILLIANT !
jubilanti15 yes Kubrick was notorious for doing retakes, sellers thought he was mad but Kubrick said sellers acting kept improving and he was laughing at this to the point he was in tears.
I’ve watched this movie last week on my 1978 black and white tv without knowing the movie was black and white. Nice to see that I did not miss anything. Lmao
Mr. President! I will not allow! A Mineshaft Gap!
Best line in the whole movie.
+MrAdvantage1 "GENTLEMEN! YOU CAN'T FIGHT IN HERE! This is the WAR ROOM!
+artistwithouttalent the mineshaft gap line summarises a great deal of the movie.
Protocol Penguin I honestly think they both do.
"Gee i wish we had one of those doomsday machines"
Mrs. Ripper: " Honey Jack Jr. wants a doomsday machine for Christmas. "
General Jack Ripper: " I'll see what I can do. "
Sellers is so brilliantly funny.
Mondo he improvised his lines, genius. He was paid $1 million to do this, 55 % of the film’s budget.
"What a load of commie bull" -- Turgidson trips and falls -- memorable. This film never left me since I first viewed it on the big screen in the 60s.
This is such a great movie. It's everything that you love about archetypes like the captain who rode the bomb down to its target, and everything we fear about political-military idiocy. I think everyone should watch this movie for all reasons.
I love the way he backs the wheelchair out away from the table. This entire scene is a comedic masterpiece, and also kind of sad considering this was the mindset of a lot of leadership at that time.
Edit: I just realized the "Doomsday machine" is the inspiration for Skynet in the Terminator series. Remarkably similar.
The truly great, darkly comical, and absolutely riveting DR. STRANGELOVE was beat out that year (for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director) by a ridiculous musical. That the winners were not Strangelove, Sellers, and Kubrick is the single worst travesty in the entire history of the Academy Awards. Unbelievable.
Doomsday Machine? METAL GEAR!
The "bomb run" sequence, as they did checkoff and arming the bomb, was the most serious part of the whole movie. The whole movie is a Masterpiece.
This is terrifyingly funny. Note Peter Sellers' speech on linking the computers. Skynet lives! Kubrick also knew, and he created a masterpiece.
1:01 is just amazing. He handles it so beautifully.
Only now realized that the President and Stranglelove are the same actor, same with Mandrake. Peter Sellers is incredible
Yeah, like the acronym MAD of that era: Mutually Assured Destruction.
it worked
@@Ghastly_Grinner only just, one accident is all it takes
@@jamesclark976 Even then it wouldn't end the world or even the nations engaged in the exchange
@@Ghastly_Grinner I doubt the governments would survive such an attack, the country would be extremely hard to govern after that much punishment. Russia would probably be slightly better off because they actually have plans and precautions in place.
@@jamesclark976 actually Russia would have been far worse off as the vast majority of their population is in one part of the country
the craziest part is that both the US and the USSR at one point actually made similar "doomsday" systems.
the soviet system was called "perimeter" and it would basically check communication lines to determine if there was still a military hierarchy functioning. if not, it would then check trough a set of sensors (pressure, light, radiation) if nuclear explosions had gone, or were going off. if true, it would fire a set of cruise missiles. which would all fly their own route past sets of ICBM silo's and they would send a signal to the men inside to launch on their targets.
the US system "ERCS" or "Emergency Rocket Communications System" would basically do the same thing, it would fire a rocket in this case, that would transmit orders to ICBM silos, and airborne launch control aircraft.
both the Russian and American system are still in service. and both have become more advanced.
"Strangelove? What kind of a name...a Kraut name is that?"
The film was never intended as s comedy. Kubrick got so depressed trying to cover the subject he got pissed, & he & [?] started larking around, & ... The world got a masterpiece. :-D
The Academy should be ashamed to have not award Peter Sellers The best actor award for 1964. 🤦🏽♂️
Not to rain on Sydney Poitier performance in ‘Lillies in the field’ but; this is One if not THE Top 10 performances of all time by a lead male actor in film cinema.
Sydney Portier didn't win best actor. Rex Harrison did for his role as Proffessor Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady.
If you like this movie I recommend Brazil (1985), a black comedy by Terry Gilliam.
Kubrick enlisted Terry Southern to write a sequel before Southern died in 1995. "Titled 'Son Of Strangelove' the script was never completed but index cards laying out the basic structure of the story were found among Southern's papers after his passing, with the story set largely in underground bunkers where Strangelove has taken refuge with a group of (at least mostly, possibly entirely) women." Kubrick wanted Terry Gilliam to direct. Gilliam found out about this sometime after Kubrick's passing and he said he 'would have loved to.' Though, given Seller's (and other's) talent in the original film, who knows if anyone could pull it off.
This will be my favorite movie to re watch inside the bomb shelter.
Won't be long now.
Thanks A LOT VLAD...
I laugh every time dr stranglelove is introduced because it’s just Peter Sellers introducing himself and I think that’s just great
I loved the voice of Dr. Strangelove. He became my favorite character in the movie. :)
Gee I wish we had one of them balloons.
George C. Scott does a comedic turn which imho, is criminally underrated. I've seen this movie a least a dozen times and it still teaches me things or I pick up on nuances I hadn't before. Brilliant! Sheer, unadulterated brilliance!
This movie is Dark Humor, paranoia, parody and social commentary ALL at once. I ALWAYS find something new every time I watch it. It's brilliant. I NEVER fail to view it when I find it on cable. "You CAN'T fight in here! This is the WAR Room!"
Honestly this scene and the entire premise of the movie made a lot more sense to me after I did a course on game theory as part of my math degree.
I keep coming back to hear Strangelove talk. 😂
The fall was an accident, Kubrick liked it and left it in :)
George C. Scott's scene where he is backing away and trips over the cords on the floor was NOT written into the scene. He actually fell and immediately got back up.
He later said in an interview that he HAD A HARD TIME NO LAUGHING !!! BRAVO !!!
"It is not a thing a sane man would do. The doomsday machine is designed to trigger itself automatically!"
Because that was the much more sane thing to build.
It's like saying if you can't have any ice cream no one can. Literally the argument of a 9-year-old.
I always wondered if the doomsday machine was only one power outage and one generator failure away from detonating.
This whole film is meant to be dark comedic satire about the possibility of nuclear war actually happening, so the point is no one in their right mind would ever approve of or even construct such a horrible device...you'd have to be an absolute madman to do that.
No it actually makes sense. If your enemies know that you might be too weak/can’t bring yourself to retaliate in the event of a nuclear war, they know that this machine will definitely do so and thus (nuclear) peace is guaranteed
@@gigamear No, it makes sense in this case. You wouldn't attack someone if you knew it would mean automatically ending your life.
Failsafe with jokes. A remarkable work for today let alone 1964. A perfect film.
I hope for and simultaneously dread any opportunity to say, "...for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious."
Seems like we lost the "peace race". I wonder if we have a "doomsday gap" now
This movie was and is amazing
Peter Sellers is a genuis
The Soviet Union really did consider building a doomsday machine by packing a ship full of nuclear bombs and using it to flash boil the world's oceans. They decided against building the machine for obvious reasons.
According to the latest piece of Russian propaganda on Russia's crusade against Ukraine and the western world, Russians DO have a doomsday machine, but they call it the "Perimeter" or "Dead Hand".
*****
That's not propaganda. In the event of a nuclear attack, there is a command center outside Moscow that can launch special ICBMs that trigger the launch of the rest of the surviving ICBMs as they fly over Russia.
Magni56
It serves that purpose, but it also buys them time if/when there's a question as to whether or not an attack is occuring. If they get something on their scopes (like that Norwegian weather rocket launch in 1995), there's no need to make a decision to counter-attack immediately. If it is an attack, Dead Hand will respond for them.
Get that hippie bullshit out of here..
Dead hand is still functional and the Russians kept it secret for 40 years.
Genius film ! Shows the absolute futility of war, cold or otherwise !
The sound in this movie is perfection.
I first saw Doctor Strangelove in college when I was studying history, political science, and current affairs. The scary thing is that, outside of the Doomsday Machine, there is more truth than fiction in this comedy. How did we ever survive that era?
Absolute Madness! This is why I love this film... It's just plain nuts... Like those that advocate the weapons themselves :-)
" ...a kraut by any other name..." , how Shakespearean ;-)
My father used to say: "You don't have to scratch a German very deep to uncover a Nazi" He was half joking when he said it.
George C. Scott is a serious bad ass.
He is a great actor portraying an annoying dumbass war maniac general, beautifully.
I own my own disc of Patton,which George C. Scott won the academy award for just a few years later, he inhabits the role of Patton, becoming him, carrying the entire movie on his shoulders.
@@warrenpierce5542 probably one of the best actors of all time. Plus had balls that a dump truck couldn't carry. He told the bullshit academy awards to fuck themselves by not accepting his award for winning best actor. He was absolutely right the academy are a bunch of morons patting themselves on their backs.
I was watching this movie with my brother and during this scene he exclaimed, "Wow, that's a great actor!" (refering to Dr. Strangelove) Then he asked who it was, and I said it was the same guy who played the President and the Royal Air Force official. He couldn't believe it was the same guy! But that's Peter Sellers for you.
Multiple roles was Sellers' trademark. There will never be another like him.
Those 1964 computers were powerful stuff. The size of a mountain and the power of a contemporary cell phone lol.
+Evi1M4chine why is it like this
@Evi1M4chine LOL you missed my point.
"A moment, please, Mr President"
I worked on a shipyard in Sydney and there was a german guy working for a mechanic contractor who spoke just like Dr. Strangelove. Jesus Christ I had a hard time holding my laughter everytime he talked.
hahaha i can only imagine

You'd think the number of automatic doomsday machines being higher than zero would be enough.
"even the smallest nuclear power" that cracked me up
Sellers deserved an Oscar for his performance
“Of course the whole point of the Doomsday device is lost if you keep it a secret. Why didn’t you tell the world?” “You know how the Premier loves surprise....”

ROFL... did he say "Bland Corporation" instead of Rand? 😂
yup
The hard goose step before Dr. Strangelove rolls out from the table. *chefs kiss* 1:45
Sellers as Dr. Strangelove was his best character role. The Phantom arm attacking him is sublime comedy.
