satire about the danger of nuclear weapons and the
insanity of war is as relevant today as it was when this
film was released in 1964. If you have never seen this
movie, you should come. Peter Sellers is astonishing in
at least three roles. Slim Pickens, George C. Scott.
Sterling Hayden as General Jack D. Ripper at the Capitol
Theater 206 5th Avenue SE in Olympia .
