or: How I Learned To Stop Worring And Love The Bomb
Stanley Kubrick's classic black comedy about a group of war-eager military men who plan a nuclear apocalypse is both funny and frightening - and seems as relevant today as ever. Through a series of military and political accidents, two psychotic generals - U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper and joint chief of Staff Buck Turgidson - trigger an ingenious, irrevocable scheme to attack Russia's strategic targets with nuclear bombs. The brains behind the scheme belong to Dr. Strangelove, a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist who has bizarre ideas about man's future. The President is helpless to stop the bombers, as is Captain Mandrake, the only man who can stop them.

As such, I was part of the cold war generation that learned in school to 'duck and cover', that is hide under the quarter inch plywood desk that was supposed to protect us from the devastation of a hydrogen bomb. The Cuban missile crisis was fresh, even in the mind of a child. It was this political climate that generated the H-Bomb movie genre. On the serious side was Fail Safe; the satirical response was Doctor Strangelove or How I learned to Stop W
