Most Of Us Will Know Straight Away What This Black And White Movie Is,

with Slim Pickens sitting on an atomic bomb,


but for those that do not it is Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, this picture and many more on-set photos and a documentary on the making of Dr. Strangelove can be seen here, as an aside I have mentioned before for me Slim Pickens steals the show, who in real life was bareback bronc rider; saddle bronc rider; rodeo clown and bullfighter, that was not of course his real name but as a piece of trivia before becoming an actor, Slim was riding on the rodeo circuit, someone told him that he should take up another line of work because all he would ever get in the rodeo was "Slim Pickin's," his real name was Louis Bert Lindley Jr.
