Dr. Strangelove 1964 Criterion Collection
Stanley Kubrick's celebrated black comedy classic about an "accidental" nuclear attack was nominated for four Academy Awards in 1964. Created during a time when the paranoia of the Cold War was at its peak, the film still seems surprisingly relevant today.

Convinced the Commies are polluting America's "precious bodily fluids"; a crazed General orders a surprise nuclear air strike on the USSR. His aide Captain Mandrake - Peter Sellers furiously attempts to figure out the recall code to stop the bombing. Meanwhile the US President – Sellers again, gets on the hotline to convince the Drunken Soviet Premier that the impending attack is a silly mistake, while the President's advisor (and Ex-Nazi Scientist) Dr. Strangelove-Sellers yet again, confirms the existence of the dreaded doomsday machine—a new secret Soviet retaliatory device guaranteed to end the Human Race once and for all!

The nuclear arms race was a subject that intrigued Kubrick for several years before Dr. Strangelove. According to Norman Kagan in his book The Cinema of Stanley Kubrick (Continuum, 1989), he had read more than 70 books on the subject and subscribed to Aviation Week and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. In the course of his reading, he came upon Peter George's novel Red Alert and purchased the screen rights to make what he planned to be a serious film about the possibility of accidental war. As he started to work on the screenplay, however, he began to see the absurdity and humor in many of the scenes and decided to write instead a "nightmare comedy." "After all, what could be more absurd than the very idea of two mega powers willing to wipe out all human life because of an accident, spiced up by political differences that will seem as meaningless to people a hundred years from now as the theological conflicts of the Middle Ages appear to us today?"
