Peter
Sellers as president in Dr. Strangelove. Sellers leads
a strong ensemble cast in this 1964 movie directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Called the "first nuclear comedy," the film broke the mold
of depicting the American president in a heroic manner. Here, the
fictional president is ripe with indecision.
