The Bed Sitting Room
The great nuclear misunderstanding lasted 2 minutes and 28 seconds (including the peace treaty)
Directed by Richard Lester
Produced by Oscar Lewenstein Productions
A surreal, darkly comic post-apocalyptic absurdist romp where nuclear annihilation produces grotesque mutations and the world's logic dissolves into anarchic, deadpan weirdness.
In the hazy aftermath of World War III, the fallout from a 'nuclear misunderstanding' is producing strange mutations amongst the survivors, and the noble Lord Fortnum finds himself transforming into a bed sitting room.
