Bainbridge Cinemas will host a special big screen revival of the Stanley Kubrick classic “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” (1964) at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21.

The beloved classic will be accompanied by special commentary from Turner Classic Movie hosts, who will provide insight, background and more, making the film truly come alive.

This brilliant silver screen satire on politics, nuclear Armageddon and the military industrial complex is also a cornucopia of outrageous comic performances — not the least of which were the three roles portrayed by Peter Sellers (who is known to have improvised much of his now-iconic dialogue).

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room.”

The story concerns an unhinged United States general who orders a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a Royal Air Force officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver the payload.

In 1989 the United States Library of Congress included the film in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, and it was listed as number three on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Laughs” list.

Tickets are $10.50 for adults and $8.50 for children and seniors. Visit www.farawayentertainment.com to learn more.
