Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb // 16MM SHOWCASE

  • Stray Cat Film Center 1662 Broadway Boulevard Kansas City, MO, 64108 United States (map)

dir. Stanley Kubrick

1964 // 1 hr 46 mins // 16mm Projection

Staring: Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens

As we exit a year of horrible political failure, let us look back, laugh, and remind ourselves how terrible things have been since the beginning. All on beautiful celluloid!

Plot: An unhinged American general orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union, triggering a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop.

Beautiful photographed; shockingly timeless; and packed to the rafters with pitch perfect/career best comedic performances from Peter Sellars, Sterling Hayden, George C. Scott, and more; Dr Strangelove: or How I Stopped Worrying and Love the Bomb is a hilariously berserk deconstruction of human behavior.
