'Fail Safe': Holds up . . .

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

In 1964 I was in the tenth grade when I saw this impending doom of a story. It left an impression because of the intense performances. Walter Matthau's Strangelove/Chaney character nearly stole the show but Fonda's steady and forceful POTUS kept it grounded. I was surprised by how well it went for such an ancient film that can be contemporary whenever it is shown.

Funny, at the end there was a message from the Air Force assuring us this scenario can never happen. Sixty years later we are not convinced.

I think of 1934 films as ancient...1964 is just middle aged. NY - Rod H. 23:33:47 01/30/24 (0)
