DR STRANGE LOVE
I just read that Hollywood's favorite Screen Kills are:
1. Janet Leigh - Psycho
2. Slim Pickens - Doctor Strange Love
3. King Kong - King Kong
4. Alan Rickman - Die Hard
5. Beatty & Dunaway - Bonnie and Clyde
But it was the movie by Stanley Kubrick "Doctor Strange Love or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964) - It had a lot to say - back in the 60s. The wonderful list of actors, especially Peter Sellers as the mad German Nazi scientist in the USA HQ bunker. Peter also was the RAF Group Capt exchange officer. But it was Slim Pickens (1919-1983) as Maj. T.J. 'King' Kong take on the US mind set. When Pickens rides the HBomb to the Russkie target, great shot great ideas equals great movie.
Noo-cyu-ler war, toe ta toe with the Russkis.
