Customer Reviews

Peace is our profession.

For those who have not seen the movie, which is highly unlikely, this is an improbable situation where a base commander is in the position to order an attack on Russia. This movie was originally supposed to be a serious movie based on the book “Red Alert” by Peter Bryant (Peter George). Now it is converted into a black comedy with many great stars, including Peter Sellers as one of the characters. (It would have been four characters if not for a broken leg). The DVD (special edition) is worth purchasing even if you have earlier versions. There are also later editions with a different mix of goodies. Many DVDs contain what they call extras (I call them Goodies). In a lot of cases, they are just rehashed versions of the movie or just rattling. In this case, the extra “Inside the Making of Dr. Strangelove” rivals the movie itself for entertainment and useful content. You find out how the movie evolved from a serious piece to a seriously black comedy. You find that the movie is an aggregate of many talented people. It would take too long to describe the details that motivated the movie, so you will just have to purchase this edition. There is also a trailer for “Fail-Safe,” a rival movie on the special edition. Dame Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" (1942) We'll Meet Again We'll meet again, Don't know where Don't know when But I know We'll meet again Some sunny day. Keep smiling through Just like you Always do Till the blue skies Drive the dark clouds Far away. So, will you please Say hello To the folks That I know Tell them, I won't be long. They'll be happy to know That, as you saw me go I was singing this song. One part I found interesting was when the Aircrew was examining their survival kit. Slim Pickens says a person can have a good time in Dallas with the kit. This is overdubbed by Las Vegas as a result of JFK just being shot in Dallas.
