Description

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. (Columbia, 1964). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). "Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face." General Jack T. Ripper (George C. Scott) goes insane and sends a bomber squadron to destroy the U.S.S.R., leading the President to bring in the former Nazi scientist Dr. Strangelove to try and stop him. Peter Sellers plays three roles in this black, black comedy, directed by Stanley Kubrick, from the brilliant script by Kubrick, Terry Southern, and Peter George, author of the original novel. This wicked half sheet features the iconic artwork used for most of the paper on this title. The poster has a large chip and associated tear in the right border, light stains in the right border, light surface paper loss in the right center area, and pinpoint crossfold separations. Still a great image from this cold war classic. Folded, Fine.
