Brilliant political satire about General Jack D. Ripper going berzerk ordering a force of pilots to A-Bomb Russia without the approval of the president. Now the president has to offer his Cold War counterpart an apology for this dreadful mistake. Peter Sellers plays three different roles, The President, a Captain (under Ripper), and an eccentric German scientist to perfection! It wasn't exactly well received when first released but is now justly considered a masterpiece.
