Kubrick’s success with DR. STRANGELOVE is based on his knowledge that no matter good your story, nobody is going to listen unless it is well told. Kubrick also appreciates that a serious point may be far more devastating if made with humor rather than earnestness.
Age has not withered the queasy nightmare of Stanley Kubrick’s nuclear holocaust satire, starring Peter Sellers at the peak of his powers.
