Theatrical Release Information
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential video
Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick's cold-war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with "the purity of precious bodily fluids," mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so- called "Doomsday Device," and the world hangs in the balance while the U.S. president (Peter Sellers) engages in hilarious hot-line negotiations with his Soviet counterpart. Sellers also plays a British military attaché and the mad bomb-maker Dr. Strangelove; George C. Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about "acceptable losses." With dialogue ("You can't fight here! This is the war room!") and images (Slim Pickens's character riding the bomb to oblivion) that have become a part of our cultural vocabulary, Kubrick's film regularly appears on critics' lists of the all-time best. --Jeff Shannon

DVD features
It's not a record, but this is Dr. Strangelove's third DVD release in five years. This 40th anniversary edition adds another disc, keeping the extra content of the previous editions while adding three new segments, but not much of interest (especially for Kubrick fans). The most significant contribution is from former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, channeling his work from The Fog of War. The movie boasts a newly created 5.1 DTS track that is very invigorating but not needed for a movie recorded in mono with minimal sound. The excellent picture presentation is same as on an earlier disc. --Doug Thomas
