Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Special Edition)

Movie / Show Details

Set Contains:

This second DVD edition of Stanley Kubrick’s film is anchored by two new documentaries. The 15-minute look at the early Kubrick is rushed and covers no new ground for fans. The 45-minute “Inside the Making of Dr. Strangelove” is more insightful despite having only a few players still alive in 2000 to talk about the production (including Kubrick’s partner James B. Harris and actor James Earl Jones). The featurette does a good job of chronicling how a thriller about the end of the world became a comedy. Some publicity material has been added, including posters, the trippy trailer, and some oddly comical “fake” interviews with the two leads. –Doug Thomas
