1964
95 minutes
4 stars
If you like very dark satire, you'll probably love this
classic. To be honest, I loved the acting, the directing, and the filming. I
just hated the story. It could be all the news today, with the Chickenhawks
wanting to get us into another war, the sooner, the better. Or just my attitude
when I watched it. Who knows? It's the first time I've seen George C. Scott where
I absolutely loved him. I've always liked him, but he was great in this one.
Peter Sellers was at his best. Slim Pickens was marvelous. Everything about
this movie was top drawer, except the story. But, mayhaps, I have a bias
against black humor and war?
