In page Dr. Strangelove:

"

Kubrick argued that Fail Safe's own source novel Fail-Safe (1962) had been plagiarized from Peter George's Red Alert, to which Kubrick owned creative rights. He pointed out unmistakable similarities in intentions between the characters Groeteschele and Strangelove. The plan worked, and the suit was settled out of court, with the agreement that Columbia Pictures, which had financed and was distributing Strangelove, also buy Fail Safe, which had been an independently financed production.[4] Kubrick insisted that the studio release his movie first,[5] and Fail Safe opened eight months after Dr. Strangelove, to critical acclaim but mediocre ticket sales.[citation needed]
