Written by Terry Southern, Peter George and director Stanley Kubrick, based on Peter George's Red Alert, DR. STRANGELOVE opens. Sterling Hayden stars as a stark raving mad US Air Force general who launches 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 starrin George C. Scott and Slim Pickens.
