An Astonishingly Good Idea

[Brian Stirling]

Was just surfing around on Youtube and came across this clip from Dr. Strangelove. Peter Sellers plays three different roles but's it's the character of Dr. Strangelove that steals this scene and the movie.

Which part was the brilliant part? Ratio of 10 females to each male? 😛

Regrettably yes, but it is a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. 🙂

No, that was the astonishingly good part.

It's funny ... as I said I was surfing Youtube and came upon this clip but I don't remember how I got there. I haven't see Dr. Strangelove in probably 20 years -- need to put it in the que.

Seller's was amazing in this movie and should have won an Oscar, but movies like this always get short shrift from the Academy. I liked him in the Pink Panther movies but his performances in Strangelove was a level above those.

Goerge C Scott was not comfortable playing his role in a comedic way and Kubrick fooled him by having him do practice takes in a comedic way and then using those takes in the movie.

One of my favorite all time movies.

I still watch it at least once every three months.

I remember watching this with my Father on TV and being sad that Slim rode the bomb to its target.
