A film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button — and it played the situation for laughs. U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely insane, and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He thinks that the communists are conspiring to pollute the “precious bodily fluids” of the American people.
By a whopping margin, this is Kubrick’s most radical film and greatest dramatic gamble. – Time Out
It’s one of the greatest – and undoubtably the most hilarious – antiwar statements ever put to film. See it before the world ends. – Austin Chronicle
