Dr. Stranglelove, Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

As I walked along the Southbank towards the BFI I was thinking of how long it had been since I saw this film, I came up with the number of 10 years, I'm fairly certain it was around the age of 13 or 14 that I started exploring Stanley Kubrick, I certainly had never seen it on the big screen, inside the BFI an elderly man told me that he has just seen 'Rome, Open City' on the big screen and I felt jealous as I had missed that owing to a meeting, when I tried to brag that I was seeing 'Dr. Strangelove' on the big screen he simply pointed out that the BFI always screens Kubrick, the night suddenly seemed less special, I pointed out to the man that I wasn't as old as him so I had yet to have the pleasure myself, it also proved an opportunity to introduce Kino actress Jaymie Addicott to the film, I believe the quality of the performances by Peter Sellers and George C. Scott were something also those in the acting world need to know about, as I'm currently composing a list of films Jaymie should seek out, this screening meant I could leave one title of the list, a true must-see piece of cold war satire, but now I've remembered to add 'Rome, Open City' to the list.
