When Jack mentions the destruction of Pompeii, the Doctor is appalled at his frivilousness about such a horrific event in history; this is probably linked to The Fires of Vulcan, where the Seventh Doctor was convinced that he would lose his TARDIS in the volcanic eruption and be trapped on Earth forever.

 The Ending You Never Saw in 'Strangelove'
Bull portrayed the Russian Ambassador in Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." Here he recalls an experience while the film was in production in England.
This section of the film took nearly a fortnight to complete and must have cost thousands and thousands of dollar but Stanley Kubrick decided, when he came to cut the film, that it was completely at variance with the rest of it and, though apparently sensationally funny and effective, it just didn't fit in.
Finally the last pie was thrown and I left almost immediately for the isles of Greece where they were merely throwing pots out of windows as part of the Easter ritual.

 Booman Tribune ~ A Progressive Community
Doctor Strangelove was demonstrably mad in a characteristic nuclear age way.
By the early 60s, the madness of nuclear war was being expressed and reinforced in popular culture by jokes and cartoons which emphasized the absurdity, and by novels, movies and television dramas which emphasized the horror.
Though it was controversial at the time, "Dr. Strangelove" became at least as important as John Hershey's book, "Hiroshima," the Stanley Kramer film, "On the Beach," and much later, Nicholas Meyer's TV film, "The Day After," in both forming and expressing common responses and beliefs about nuclear war.

He became increasingly disillusioned with the "many instances of the way in which public relations techniques--the not-so-hidden persuader--have been used to promote the appropriation of funds for the peaceful Atom." He criticized the "elaborate ritual" of providing nuclear technology to underdeveloped countries: "Even as a propaganda move it was self-defeating and naïve.
A great many of these countries need and could use doctors and medicine, storage batteries, plows and fertilizers and seed--and good elementary scientific instruction.

tanley Kubrick has directed such films as "Paths of Glory," "Lolita," and "Doctor Strangelove." Kubrick's latest film, "2001: A Space Odyssey," is reported to have cost more than $10-million, and was more than two years in production.
Most of the production time was consumed by the creation of special effects, from lunar landings to a brilliant psychedelic apocalypse.
The technical approach, you might say, is first aid, but it can't be a very profound answer.

While Strangelove is clearly centered on the concerns of the time it was produced the fl humor still holds today, perhaps considering the anxiety over terrorism so prevalent today, even more so.
Sellers moves between three vastly different roles with grace and ease, from the ineffectual President to the obsessed doctor and the dedicate, sane Captain, Sellers makes us forget that its him in each role and accept the characters for the bizarre people the are.

If you recall the bitter and hilarious Cold War film, Dr. Strangelove, there is a scene where the Soviet ambassador puts down the phone to Moscow, groaning about "The fools, oh, the mad fools," and then informs the American President and Pentagon brass for the first time of the Doomsday Machine.
The Doomsday Machine, he explains to those gathered in a desperate effort to stop an unauthorized attack launched by a lunatic American wing commander, is an automated device that, once set, cannot be prevented from responding to any attack by releasing an earth-straddling cloud of deadly radiation.

Buoyed by Sellers' superb triple performances, as well as those of Hayden and George C. Scott (as yet another gung-ho, anti-Commie general), DOCTOR STRANGELOVE remains the chilling satire that it is not because it delivers sight-gags or belly laughs, but because it shows politicians and generals being frighteningly good at doing their jobs.
It says that the people who are in the best position to stop nuclear war from happening are also the same ones willing to have one START up in the first place.
Shot in fl-and-white, DOCTOR STRANGELOVE may require from the viewer a certain amount of knowledge about the history of the Cold War to be fully appreciated.

STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB is the cold war masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick.
Based on the novel RED ALERT by Peter George, the film is set at the height of the tensions between Russia and the United States, when all it would take to destroy the world was one push of a button.
Hayden, George C. Scott, Slim Pickens, Keenan Wynn, and Sellers (in three roles) are especially terrific in what is the funniest, most poignant fl comedy ever made, a vicious satire on the farcical aspects of the military and the cold war.

 COLIN HUGHES -- REVIEW OF EDWARD TELLER: THE REAL DOCTOR STRANGELOVE BY PETER GOODCHILD -- LOGOS 4.2 SPRING 2005
Kubrick’s film, Dr Strangelove (1965), tells the story of a US Air Force Commander, Jack D Ripper, who, convinced that the Commies are contaminating his bodily fluids, orders a nuclear strike on Russia.
His advisors include Air Force General Buck Turgidson, and a scientist, Dr Strangelove, a ‘Kraut’, confined to a wheelchair, whose right arm, as the tension mounts, involuntarily rises to a Nazi salute, and he addresses the President as ‘Mein Fuhrer’.
I have dealt with this topic at some length because it is symptomatic of the way in which the author himself sometimes complicates and confuses the issues.

Sellers also plays a British military attaché and the mad scientist Dr Strangelove; George C Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about "acceptable losses".
Even the sinister Dr. Strangelove is powerless to stop the eventual holocaust.
"Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is an old movie that tackles a difficult subject, the end of the world as we know it due to a nuclear war.

 Who Was Dr. Strangelove? - Bruce Gottlieb - Slate Magazine
Of all the film characters he created, perhaps none is as memorable as Doctor Strangelove, as played by the incomparable Peter Sellers.
While it is true that Kissinger had thick glasses and an even thicker accent, he was still a relatively obscure professor at Harvard in 1964 when the movie was released.
(Here's an audio clip of the excited Strangelove mistakenly calling the President "Mein Fuhrer!") Von Braun developed the V-2 during World War II for Hitler, emigrated to the USA to create rockets for NASA, and became something of national hero in the space agency's heyday of the 1960s.
