Dr. Strangelove – An Accidental Trip and Fall
Stanley Kubrick’s dark comic masterpiece Dr. Strangelove features a bountiful supply of absurdist humor. But one funny moment was totally unplanned. George C. Scott’s character is delivering some dialogue inside the famous “war room” when he suddenly trips and falls to the floor. He then quickly leaps back up and resumes talking. Scott really did fall accidentally, but Kubrick enjoyed the added bit of unplanned humor and kept the take in the finished film.
