SEVEN days in May, decent book(1962) , decent film.(1964)
There was also the TV movie, on "Playhouse 90", "Alas Babylon"(1960)--very
excellent--- based on a hugely popular book also excellent(1959)
Dr. Strangelove (1964) sort of based on the non-comedic books Red alert
(so-so) (1958) and "Fail Safe" (so-so) (book 1962) (Sidney Lumet film
1964-also so-so)
Kubrick's was the comedy and really kicked off the Black Comedy concept.
"Alas Babylon" and "On the Beach," were masterpieces
---But Dr. Starngelove
took it to a new level.
