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

( Columbia Pictures / LACMA )

A scene from Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."

"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" remains one of Kubrick's most popular films. The nuclear-war satire, which was made at the height of U.S.-Soviet tensions, is a darkly comic look at power and corruption, and it features what is perhaps Peter Sellers' greatest performance in multiple roles.
