Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] / Filmways, 1965. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1965 film. Based on the 1948 novel by Evelyn Waugh. The sister film to "Dr. Strangelove," and in the eyes of many, just as much a masterpiece of exquisitely wrought black humor. Made in the US, but in a dense, British-American style.
