Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is one of the most celebrated and significant films ever made. This book traces the movie’s origins as a thriller novel through its evolution into a devastating black comedy, to its ultimate reception as an undisputed cinema classic.
A wealth of fresh detail is provided on Dr. Strangelove‘s production, its initial reception and its lasting influence. The book also examines the film within the context of the real-life superpower standoff it satirized and evaluates its place alongside director Kubrick’s entire catalog of famous works. Drawn from interviews, biographical research and extensive cultural analysis, this work is an indispensable resource for Kubrick fans, movie buffs and students of Cold War history.
