Heh.
Finally watched that all the way through in one go this weekend. Had seen most of it here and there but for some reason never really got all that into it.
It took getting to the part where the Prez has to call the Soviet leader on the phone to give him a 'heads up' before I was completely hooked.
"Well, what happened is... one of our base commanders... he went and did a silly thing..."
PURE GOLD.
I have to wonder how much of that bit was Peter Sellers ad-libbing, and how the rest of the cast managed not to ruin every take by busting out laughing.
