"Failsafe" ?

Yes. Excellent guess verner!!! I forgot to check my imdb voting history and found it also there.
Cast with Walter Matthau as the Professor and Henry Fonda as the President.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058083/

Interesting i find also this here listed under Trivia for the movie:
The view of the satellite zooming into a closer shot is actually film taken from a camera mounted on a captured German V2 rocket launched from White Sands, New Mexico. The film is run backwards to show the illusion of zooming closer to the ground.

I think they used the B-58 Hustler in this one.

I dont know but somehow i was remind of a movie i had just recently seen some month ago. It was about the cold war between russia and usa. And i think it was in Black/white. One part played in Alaska where they had some bombers. The story was about that they had implemented a new computer system and because of a malfunction a wing of US bombers was orderd to bomb Soviet Union. The movie was very good from the suspense. In the end the two presidents made phone calls and tried to shot down the US Bombers but one of four came through the russian defense. If i only could remember the title ......

I think that it was the extraordinary "Doctor Folamour" (doctor strangelove in english)by Stanley Kubrick-Was a tragi-comedy...
very good film !! a vey funny scene with peter Sellers(who played two roles in the fim) is an anthology!!

Look at the final scene (in deutch ..)


Cordialement

Actually, Dr. Strangelove(or how I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) was the English Title and Mr. Sellers played three parts in the film. It was a spoof on "Failsafe"  :-salut

Since we talk about my favourite director Stanley. I found a scene in " Paths of Glory where they sit in a trench and you can see a wreckage of a German airplane. Rudder shape is rounded. I have to buy this movie also on DVD, i have seen it before but i didnt know it was from Stanley  :)) I consider this early B/W movie of Kubrick to be one of the best WWI movies.

In 1938 in Germany was made movie about Red baron and this is the last time that Dr.I was running its engine. I think the very last was destroyed during the bombing in 1944.
