Fail-Safe (1964) {Stanley Kubrick Series Tie-in}

Caleb and Eric return to discuss another film from the 1960s, and in an effort to tie in to their upcoming Dr. Strangelove review (which you can hear next Monday!), Caleb has elected that the duo cover the 1964 Nuclear War chiller, Fail-Safe. Released in the same year, and featuring virtually the same scenario, it's easy to understand why the film would pale next to the classic that is Dr. Strangelove. But does the film hold up in it's own right? Join your hosts as they take a look at this somewhat forgotten film, and see if it deserves another look.
