FILM

Screening of ‘Dr. Strangelove’

Join the Clinton Presidential Center and the Central Arkansas Library System for a screening of “Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” This classic dark comedy by Stanley Kubrick will be shown on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Ron Robinson Theater in Little Rock. It’s the last screening in the “Commanding the Screen” series, which ties into the center’s exhibition on the relationship between the American presidency and film.

The film features an unhinged Air Force general who launches a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. As chaos unfolds, U.S. President Merkin Muffley and his team scramble to stop the catastrophe. Peter Sellers shines in multiple roles, including the mad scientist Dr. Strangelove. Notable performers like George C. Scott and Slim Pickens also bring this iconic film to life. Admission is free, and concessions will be available for purchase. To reserve a seat, visit this link.
