a Russian drink a glass of Water, Mandrake?
This spectacular piece of acting is from the classic Stanley
Kubrick film “Dr. Strangelove”!
There are so many great scenes in this movie, but this one
really stands out…Peter Sellers is superb as Lionel Mandrake,
the RAF captain that tries to hold back the barely restrained
panic he feels when he realizes that General Jack D. Ripper
(Sterling Hayden) has gone insane and ordered a full nuclear
strike on Russia.
Performances don’t get any better than this, seriously great acting.
The movie is over fifty years old and I still quote it.
As smart today as when it first came out, maybe even more so…
