What Bomb?

Yesterday or today on Facebook (I have a short memory span) somebody had a picture of a scene in the 1964 DOCTOR STRANGELOVE OR HOW I LEARNED RO SROP WORRYING ABOUT THE BOMB. Reuben, a Navy friend shot me a note saying remember this? Reuben also wondered if we saw it at the base theater at NAS LAKEURST, NJ, or in the theater in Lakewood, NJ? I think we saw at the base theater and I was surprised it was shown there because the movie was so critical of the military. It was good. It was written and directed by Stanley Kubrick. It Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, and Slim Pickens.. Peter Sellers plays sever characters in the movie. One of the characters he played is Dr. Strangelove. Dr. Strangelove had a mechanical hand that had its own mind. If it got mad at Dr. Strangelove he might squeeze his balls or grab his neck and choke him. And you cannot find a better general with a perfect southern accent and a hatred of “commies” better than Slim Pickens In our office on the base we imitated the characters in that movie for weeks, maybe months. Doctor Strangelove was the character mostly copied by us.
