Art by Tomi Ungerer

This minimalist movie poster for Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," featuring cover art by Tomi Ungerer, is a stylized graphic illustration set against a plain white background. At the top, light blue silhouettes of B-52 bombers are arranged in a V-formation, radiating from the center toward the upper corners. The centered text begins with "Stanley Kubrick's" in a small black font, followed by "Peter Sellers • George C. Scott" in small red font. The main title, "Dr. Strangelove," is rendered in a large, bold, red, sans-serif font. Below it, the subtitle "Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" is stacked vertically in black, sans-serif font. Near the bottom, the phrase "the hot-line suspense comedy" appears in lowercase black, sans-serif font. In the lower foreground, two black silhouettes of men in suits are seen from the back, framing the bottom corners, both holding red telephone receivers to their ears. Between them, a portion of a globe is visible, featuring a graphic design of the U.S. flag merging into a red field with a white symbol. Fine black print at the bottom lists additional cast: "Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens and introducing Tracy Reed." It credits the screenplay to "Stanley Kubrick, Peter George & Terry Southern," notes the film is "Based on the book 'Red Alert' by Peter George," and concludes with "Produced & Directed by Stanley Kubrick - Columbia Pictures Release."
