Show Notes

Sidney Lumet's 1964 Cold War brink of doom suspense film, FAIL SAFE, is our feature presentation this week. We talk the lawsuit filed by Stanley Kubrick and others over the film's perceived plagiarism on the source novel and DR. STRANGELOVE. We also touch on the blacklisted screenwriter, lack of energy, and the one-note tone of the film. There's a lot to discuss and this one may surprise you. We also pick our least favorite Sidney Lumet films in this week's SILVER SCREEN 7. Join us!
