Critic Reviews

  • Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena

    Sátira anti-belicista que envelheceu mal e cuja relevância diz respeito apenas à performance de Sellers como a grã-duquesa de Fenwick.

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    Sellers distinguished himself only in his role in drag.

  • Jon Niccum, Lawrence Journal-World

    Quirky little cult movie

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Even hilarious today; politics haven't changed!

  • Martin Scribbs, Low IQ Canadian

    A welcome return to a more innocent time in geopolitics. Also be sure to catch the mod! fab! DVD preview for Dr. Strangelove.

    I'm not a big fan of Sellers, but I really liked him in this movie, it's really hilarious, and he starts that trend where the same actor plays multiple characters in the same movie. The story is good too. I really liked this movie.
