DR. STRANGELOVE, OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
A government out of control. A president helpless to act in the face of imminent danger. Madness and unpredictability everywhere you turn. A sick feeling that our government and way of life may be at risk, and there’s little to be done to stop it. Substitute the word “Virus” for “Bomb” in the subtitle of this 1964 classic Stanley Kubrick film (yes, him again), and you may get a sense of why this very dark comedy is more vital and pertinent than ever. Peter Sellers stars, in several different roles.
