Extra Fun Fact: The film "Fail Safe" and the film "Dr. Strangelove" are based on the same source material.

Yes. Both are two of my all-time favorite movies.

From "Dr. Strangelove:"

Major Kong rides the bomb

Air crewman: Where's Major Kong?

Major Kong: Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

From "Fail Safe:"

Fail Safe dinner party discussion about thermonuclear war

Woman at dinner party: Who would survive?

Professor Groeteschele: Who would survive? That's an interesting question. I would predict . . . convicts and file clerks. The worst convicts. Those deep down in solitary confinement. And the most ordinary file clerks. Probably for large insurance companies, because they would be in fire-proof rooms, protected by tons of the best insulator in the world: paper. And imagine what will happen. The small group of vicious criminals will fight the army of file clerks for the remaining means of life. The convicts will know violence, but the file clerks will know organization. Who do you think'll win?
