A Bomb was Stolen (1961) - Ion Popescu-Gopo


A delightful comedy about the absurdities of war, weapons and the quest thereof. The obvious association is with the Kubrick classic 'Dr. Strangelove', Jacques Tati and of course the Marx Brothers. It's a shame that just because a film comes from Romania, it is now forgotten, despite having been nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes once. Thanks to the web, I found someone else with similar feelings: The Forgotten: The Dumb Bomb Would love to get hold of some of his animated films from the 'Homo Sapiens series'. See a sample below:
