Don't forget Keenan Wynn as Col Bat Guano. "You'll have to answer to the Coca Cola company."

I didn't mean to dismiss him, but his role was smaller - he held his own with Sellers and that was not easy to do.

For that matter, Peter Bull was great the Soviet Ambassador. When you think about James Earl Jones, Tracy Reed and Shane Zimmer - every speaking role was very well done. While that was more common for the period (let's face it - acting, across the board, was better from the mid-50s to the early-to-mid 70s), the absurdity of the material makes the acting (and directing) more impressive in Strangelove.
