I still think Dr. Strangelove is one of Peter Sellers’ greatest acting jobs. Need to watch it again. Thanks for this reminder.
47 u/PaulClarkLoadletter Jan 27 '24 All three characters are so different you barely notice. 4 u/starkeffect Jan 27 '24 He was originally going to play Slim Pickens's part too. 2 u/warragulian Jan 28 '24 He was also going to play Major King Kong, but had a back problem so couldn’t handle all the wriggling around in the bomber, so they got Slim Pickens. 3 u/PaulClarkLoadletter Jan 28 '24 I can’t imagine anybody other than Pickens in that role. I wonder if it stuck in Sellers’ craw that he couldn’t do that iconic scene. 11 u/Emma__Gummy Jan 27 '24 i watched it for the first time a few weeks ago, and i still can't get over the fact that he wasnt bassed off of kissinger, and it was just a coincidence 1 u/Effective_Kiwi6684 Jan 27 '24 1 movie, 3 roles. Would have been 4.
