Special 35mm Film Screening:

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

(Stanley Kubrick, 1964, USA, 95 min, English, B/W, 35mm)

--Introduced by Prof. Michael Morton, German Dept.

In 1964, with the Cuban Missile Crisis fresh in viewers' minds, the Cold War at its frostiest, and the hydrogen bomb relatively new and frightening, Stanley Kubrick dared to make a film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button -- and played the situation for laughs. Dr. Strangelove's jet-black satire has kept the film fresh and entertaining, even as its issues have become (slightly) less timely.

"This landmark movie's madcap humor and terrifying suspense remain undiminished by time." -- The Chicago Tribune
