It’s not a bitter satire like Dr. Strangelove, but this hilarious 1966 comedy took advantage of a similar shift in sentiment: the revulsion against the potential for a world destroyed by superpower conflict. A gentle spoof of arch-patriots running amok when a Soviet sub runs aground on an East Coast resort, Norman Jewison’s film stars Carl Reiner as a hapless vacationer, Alan Arkin as a Soviet sailor and Jonathan Winters as a bungling cop.
