FDU Film"Dr. Strangelove"at Weiner Library: 9/25 1PM

The Weiner Library at Fairleigh Dickinson University and the Fort Lee Film Commission are sponsoring a four-part film series beginning in September. The Film Commission selected the films to be shown based on their popular appeal and on the collections at FDU and the Commission. The series is free and open to the public.

The first film in the series is the satirical and provocative black comedy "Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” It will be shown on Sunday, September 25th at 1:00 PM in the Weiner Library Auditorium, located at 1000 River Road in Teaneck, across from Phelps Park.

"Dr. Strangelove," produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, stars Peter Sellers and George C. Scott with James Earl Jones. It is a hot-line suspense comedy in which an insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop. The film won the NY Film Critics Circle Award for Best Director Stanley Kubrick and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written Comedy, but lost out to "My Fair Lady" for Best Picture Oscar in the 1965 awards ceremony.

The Fort Lee Film Commission is a non-profit organization founded in 2000 to raise funds to preserve films made in Fort Lee and to work with filmmakers who support promotion of Fort Lee's role as the birthplace of the American film industry.
