“We’ll Meet Again...
Don’t Know how
Don’t Know When..”
Real B-52 crews were almost required to have a home video of the movie.
Kubrick wanted Peter Sellers to also play the part of Major T. J. “King” Kong. Sellers didn’t want to as he already was plying 3 parts (Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and Dr. Strangelove) in the film. Sellers thought that was more than enough. So on the day he was supposed to play the Major he showed up with his leg in a cast.
Kubrick wasn’t to happy with that so they hired Slim Pickens to play the Major. A good choice. Just as an aside Pickens took allot of guff from other actors saying that he acted too much like a cowboy. Thing was he was a real cowboy before he became an actor.
