   Oct 6, 2024 · Surely the best-known of them, though, is Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), and though it is as different a film from Lument’s as you could imagine—satire taken to the point of absurdity, while Fail Safe is a kind of speculative docudrama and completely humourless—the fortunes of the two films were closely intertwined.

   Jan 29, 2020 · Fail Safe. Sidney Lumet. “It’s a procedural thriller set in a world that is both physically and philosophically isolated—but it is also haunted by a real-life churning beyond its immediate borders.”. Lumet’s early films evince a fascination with working-class subjects and kitchen-sink realism (A View from the Bridge, 1962; The ...

   Did Dr Strangelove help 'fail safe'?
