For the "Dr Strangelove" fans that haven't seen "Failsafe" I recommend watching it and "Seven Days in May". IMHO Larry Hagman provides a compelling performance as Henry Fonda's translator trying to get the translation and nuances of emotion from the Soviet premier.
All three were released in 1964 and provide different takes on the anxieties of the era. We used to joke a lot about having to hide under our desks (lived in the DC suburbs) during the air raid drills, lot of good that would do when the nukes dropped!

- getwiththeprog 3y agoIf searching, it is "Fail Safe 1964", which also adds another layer of meaning.
- nickdothutton 3y ago3 of my favourite films of the decade.
