“Gentlemen, You can’t fight in here, this is the war room” was a line from the movie that was timed for release during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it was moved for release at a later date due to the apparent feelings people had about politics at the time. A Black Comedy that makes fun of the utter serious chain of events (any of which can become true) that can lead to the end of the world with all sides firing their Nukes in defense of the other. The Movie has a crazy general of an air force base who orders an attack on Russia by B-52 bombers carrying nuclear devices citing the apparent sabotage of Russian spies of the American lifestyle, injecting fluoride into the water system that he blames for his impotence. The aim was o lighten the mood of the ever tensioned times of the Cold War where everybody was at risk at the press of a button.
