Dr. Strangelove

Dr. Strangeglove—played by Peter Sellers in Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 classic film—often used his left hand to control his right, which at times even clutched his throat. This behavior resembles a real-life condition called alien-hand syndrome (also known as anarchic hand or Dr. Strangelove syndrome) , in which one hand evades voluntary control. A neurological disorder in which one of the hands of people who have it appears to take on a mind of its own.
