Agree with you! And pretty crazy for a mainstream film at that time to show elements of BDSM culture, albeit in a comedic fashion.

How pure is the warmth in Dr. Strangelove if Kubrick started out to make a straight-ahead Cold War thriller, then decided to change it to a comedy? Just saying. One of my top comedies, for sure, tho - have it on DVD, watch it about once a year.
Also, Raising Arizona makes me LOL.

It is interesting that Fail Safe was a very similar movie that came out at almost the same time as Strangelove. It is also good, but not a comedy, and therefore not nearly as biting or timeless.
