Quoting Wikipedia:
Produced/released in the year of the United States Bicentennial and following the Watergate scandal and resignation of Richard Nixon, and the loss of the Vietnam War, the film's main theme is the decay of the concept of public service. The movie is a black comedy...
In 2000 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
In 2006, the script (written by Paddy Chayefsky), was voted one of the top ten movie scripts of all-time by the Writer's Guild of America.
Actor George Clooney is planning to produce and co-star in a live made-for-television remake of the film, just as he did with "Fail-Safe".
