This Is the War Room!

About This Movie

So, This Is the War Room! is a fascinating watch, diving deep into the mind of Ken Adam, the production designer behind that legendary War Room from Dr. Strangelove. Seeing him at 93, still wielding his Flo-Master, is quite something. The documentary captures this reflective atmosphere, giving you a peek into the creative process of a bygone era. It’s not just a behind-the-scenes look; it’s more about the artistry and the tension of the Cold War period that informed those designs. The pacing feels almost leisurely, allowing you to really soak in each detail. It's like a warm conversation with an old master, full of insights and anecdotes that resonate with anyone who appreciates the craft of film design.
