DR. STRANGELOVE opens. Written by Terry Southern, Peter George and director Stanley Kubrick, based on Peter George's Red Alert. Sterling Hayden stars as a stark raving mad US Air Force general who launches an unauthorised nuclear attack on Soviet Union precipitating world armageddon.  Sharply drawn, nervously hilarious, pitch black anti-war satire has become an unreserved classic with the versatile Peter Sellers assuming the three key roles. Also starring George C. Scott and Slim Pickens.
