According to contemporary sources...
it's one of those cold war mockeries. Since it involves nuclear weapons and a madman who addresses the president as 'Mein Fuhrer', there is much reason to believe that it is one of the best movies ever.
Of course, it talks of nuclear war, and against prevalent ideas, the commanding officer thought otherwise. 10 to 20 million deaths at the most, he says. Mutually assured destruction? Only if both sides start hitting each other at the same time, apparently. That's more I like it, cold and rational.
Incidentally, this film is where the image of a man riding a nuclear bomb came from. Rock and roll.
