And in 2006 I revealed the story of a real-life Dr Strangelove.
Fail Safe is a nuclear war story, considered to be the serious version of Dr Strangelove and the original novel was made into a film released just months after the Kubrick comedy.
Regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, Kubrick directed groundbreaking films including 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Dr Strangelove and Eyes Wide Shut, his last film before his death in 1999.
His favorite movies are Dr. Strangelove, Do the Right Thing, Annie Hall, Airplane, and Talk to Her.
Generals have always been the rock stars of the military (my favorite one is fictional: General Buck Turgidson from Dr. Strangelove), and David Petraeus is no exception.
Following the 1979 near-meltdown of a reactor at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island, the nuclear power industry suddenly had all the appeal of Dr. Strangelove in his doomsday bunker.
Which is precisely what happens to the Presidents played by Henry Fonda in Fail-Safe and Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove, both released the same year as The Best Man.

That effort produced the iconic B-52 bomber featured in the movie Dr. Strangelove that has played a role in every major U.S. military campaign from Vietnam to Afghanistan.

It will serve a larger purpose, too, the same one that motivated satirists from Aristophanes and Juvenal to Swift and Pope to Mark Twain and the creators of "Dr. Strangelove": to curb self-indulgence, deflate pretense, and expel stupidity.
