Failsafe

Have any of you seen “Failsafe”? It was made at the same time as “Dr. Strangelove” but seems to be much less known today. Not a comedy, it is nevertheless an odd take on nuclear war. Walter Matthau has a great role as the academic adviser to the president.

It’s a good movie for the compare-and-contrast exercise.

FilmAffinity lists it as "Fail-Safe".

I haven't seen it but would like to. I thought about choosing "The Day After" for my next pick, just because of the K.C. interest, but thought it would be too similar.

I think there was a recent remake of "Fail-Safe," too.
