George C. Scott

Dr. Strangelove

June 16, 2009 // 0 Comments

The 1960s was a good decade for director Stanley Kubrick. In fact, it marked the height of his financial and critical success. He opened the decade on a bittersweet note with the sword-and-sandal epic "Spartacus" (1960), the kind of adventurous [...]
