'No, I don't only call you when something's wrong. Yes I DO call you just to say hello sometimes. There's no need to raise your voice. Have you been drinking?'

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is in my book a classic. I see a lot of posts about how it isn't non-stop laughs and how it's very dark. Well firstly it's from 1964. Were there any comedies back then that gave non stop laughs as the likes of Seller's other films such as the Pink Panther series? What did you expect back then, Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
The humor is maybe too subtle for some but at the same time it fits the story perfectly because the story was about a huge crisis. Do you really think seeing Sellers take pratfall after pratfall helped the movie, rather than hurt it?

Before that, anything with the Marx Brothers.
