6. Merkin Muffley, Dr. Strangelove

Trending

Muffley, played by Peter Sellers, is a character who is shrewd not because he does anything evil but because he is so wrapped up in niceties and diplomatiques that he fails to match up to urgent situations. The comedy movie is about a rogue American general who drops a bomb on the Soviet Union and triggers a doomsday device. As the general’s chief, Muffley refuses to take a hard stand and is instead worried about his own image.
