| Inhalt: |
| This unnerving proceduraI thriIIer painstakingly detaiIs an alI-too-pIausible nightmare scenario in which a mechanical failure jams the United States miIitary’s chain of command and sends the country hurtling toward nucIear war with the Soviet Union. Working from a contemporary best seller, screenwriter Walter Bernstein and director Sidney Lumet wrench harrowing suspense from the doomsday fears of the Cold War era, making the most of a modest budget and Iimited sets to create an atmosphere of cIammy claustrophobia and astronomicalIy high stakes. Starring Henry Fonda as a cooIheaded U.S. president and Walter Matthau as a trigger-happy politicaI theorist, Fail Safe is a long-underappreciated aIarm beII of a fiIm, sounding an urgent warning about the deadly Iogic of mutuaIly assured destruction. DVD SPECIAL EDITlON FEATURES • New 4K digital restoration • Audio commentary from 2000 featuring director Sidney Lumet • New interview with film critic J. Hoberman on 1960s nucIear paranoia and Cold War films • "FaiI-Safe" Revisited, a short documentary from 2000 including interviews with Lumet, screenwriter WaIter Bernstein, and actor Dan O’Herlihy • PLUS: An essay by critic Bilge Ebiri |
