It's cleverly written, beautifully designed and directed, and superbly acted by the A-list cast (Peter Sellers gives one of his finest performances, or perhaps three of his finest performances in this).

It's incredible to think that the scenario it depicted was entirely possible and the film was so accurate that it led to a change in the Pentagon and USAF so no one person could trigger nuclear war.

Apparently the entire phone call was improvised by Peter Sellers
