It was much scarier living in the 1950s and 1960s than now. Why?
Because World war II was still pretty recent and there were many people with severe PTSD from World war II alive then in the U.S. On top of this nuclear weapons including Hydrogen bombs were brand new and no one really believed we could go more than 5 or 10 years without blowing the world up.
Dr. STrangelove was a comedy that helped people to cope better or "How I stopped worrying and learned to Love the Bomb". It was actually a very helpful 1964 parody of what many people actually were like then. For example, my father believed then: "Better Dead than Red" which many people did then and I was taught to think like this too.
If you want to feel more how crazy it was then watch the cult movie:
Dr. Strangelove
is a 1964 political satire black comedy film co-written, produced, and
directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Peter Sellers in three roles
This
film depicts a horrible, tragic incident in which a breach in the
government and a few diplomatic mistakes result in nuclear holocaust.
So, why didn't this ...
The
entire film is a comedic perfection, an ode to man's most basic sexual
need, and shows with maximum humor how failed fucking can create fucking
disasters.
A
film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong
button -- and it played the situation for laughs. U.S. Air Force General

Kubrick's film “Dr. Strangelove” seems all the more brilliant, bleak,
and terrifyingly on the mark about the dangers of nuclear weaponry.
A
film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong
button -- and it played the situation for laughs. U.S. Air Force General
Jack Ripper goes completely insane, and sends his bomber wing to
destroy the U.S.S.R. He thinks that the communists are conspiring to
pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of the American people.
