D6192 DR. STRANGELOVE (USA, 1964) (Other titles: Dr. [i.e. Docteur] Folamour; Dottor Stranamore) Credits: director, Stanley Kubrick ; writers, Stanley Kubrick, Terry Southern, Peter George. Cast: Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn. Summary: War/science fiction/comedy set in the contemporary U.S. A satire in which the President (Sellers) and his military advisers struggle ineptly to avert a holocaust after two psychotic generals - U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper (Hayden) and Chief of Staff "Buck" Turgidson (Scott) - trigger an ingenious, irrevocable scheme to launch a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union because they fear the Russians are poisoning the water supply in the United States. The brains behind the scheme belong to Dr. Strangelove (also Sellers), a wheel-chair bound nuclear scientist who has bizarre ideas about mankind's future. Identified as a Vietnam War film by Robert Cumbow in Vietnam War films: “…this black-comic slap at military-political thinking and warning of the perils of military brinksmanship is an accidentally appropriate beginning to what became known as the Vietnam Era.” Adair, Gilbert.
