> Well I prefer Miss Scott's (Tracy Reed) performance.
I love when she calls him to the big room, that one-sided phone conversation is absolutely hilarious. But I guess you're meaning other kind of "performance". Mrs. Foreign Affairs ^_^
> But, yeah, George C.'s ain't bad either. That part in the war room where he takes a > tumble was supposedly an accident and not scripted but they kept it in.
Yes, he kept whining that Kubrick made him repeat the scenes until he overacted too much, like in that scene. Yet he later admitted that it was his favourite performance once he could see the final result. That kind of strong, bold actors can be so funny when put in a comedy.
According to a date seen in a single scene in the movie, the happenings occur on Sept 13th 1963, which was a friday. A black friday for a black comedy. Just another one of too many subtle details, like calling Sterling's character "Jack D. Ripper" (Jack el destripador en espaƱol).
