Quoted: So, I'm watching it right now. George C Scott is fucking hilarious. The story goes Kubrick told Scott he was gonna shoot 3 takes, one understated, one way over the top and then finally one in the middle after the extremes were set which would then be used in the film. Obviously, Kubrick lied and it really pissed Scott off to the point Scott refused to ever work with Kubrick again |

There's a grimmer version(in tone) of essentially the same story called Failsafe.
Henry Fonda as the POTUS, Walter Mathau, Larry Hagman, Fritz Weaver. Directed by the great Sidney Lumet. It ain't funny. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There's a grimmer version(in tone) of essentially the same story called Failsafe. Henry Fonda as the POTUS, Walter Mathau, Larry Hagman, Fritz Weaver. Directed by the great Sidney Lumet. It ain't funny. Do you know the story of how Kubrick screwed over "Failsafe" so that Dr. Strangelove was release ahead of "Failsafe"? Great story - check it out! Fail Safe Red Alert author Peter George collaborated on the screenplay with Kubrick and satirist Terry Southern. Red Alert was more solemn than its film version, and it did not include the character Dr. Strangelove, though the main plot and technical elements were quite similar. A novelization of the actual film, rather than a reprint of the original novel, was published by Peter George, based on an early draft in which the narrative is bookended by the account of aliens, who, having arrived at a desolated Earth, try to piece together what has happened. It was reissued in October 2015 by Candy Jar Books, featuring never-before-published material on Strangelove's early career. During the filming of Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick learned that Fail Safe, a film with a similar theme, was being produced. Although Fail Safe was to be an ultrarealistic thriller, Kubrick feared that its plot resemblance would damage his film's box office potential, especially if it were released first. Indeed, the novel Fail-Safe (on which the film is based) is so similar to Red Alert that Peter George sued on charges of plagiarism and settled out of court. What worried Kubrick the most was that Fail Safe boasted the acclaimed director Sidney Lumet and the first-rate dramatic actors Henry Fonda as the American president and Walter Matthau as the advisor to the Pentagon, Professor Groeteschele. Kubrick decided to throw a legal wrench into Fail Safe's production gears. Lumet recalled in the documentary Inside the Making of Dr. Strangelove: "We started casting. Fonda was already set ... which of course meant a big commitment in terms of money. I was set, Walter [Bernstein, the screenwriter] was set ... And suddenly, this lawsuit arrived, filed by Stanley Kubrick and Columbia Pictures." Kubrick argued that Fail Safe's own source novel Fail-Safe (1960) had been plagiarized from Peter George's Red Alert, to which Kubrick owned creative rights. He pointed out unmistakable similarities in intentions between the characters Groeteschele and Strangelove. The plan worked, and the suit was settled out of court, with the agreement that Columbia Pictures, which had financed and was distributing Strangelove, also buy Fail Safe, which had been an independently financed production. Kubrick insisted that the studio release his movie first, and Fail Safe opened eight months after Dr. Strangelove, to critical acclaim but mediocre ticket sales. |

Failsafe had some really great scenes too.
The bit where the bombers smack Soviet interceptors out of the air with "defensive missiles" (something like a SRAM) while inbound to their targets, resulting in the airmen back at SAC cheering....only for the General to yell at them to shut up, because....yeah, if the US bombers get through, it's WW III and we started it. Edit: Found it. About 55:50 minutes in.  Failed To Load Title |

Gen. 'Buck' Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature. Russian Ambassador Alexi de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor."  |

I watched it a month ago for the first time, on Amazon Prime. I knew quotes from the movie but had never seen it before.
At first it started off so serious, then tried to be funny (I can find a lot of things funny, but nuclear war is not one of them - and this came out in the '60s???), then serious and funny then slapstick. I was confused. I wouldn't say my time was wasted but I won't be watching again. I've also never seen: Gone With The Wind; 2001: A Space Odyssey; Apocalypse Now and others. |
