Satire is frequently cited as one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. Departing from traditional Hollywood farce and screwball, director and comedian Jerry Lewis used satire in his self-directed films "The Bellboy" (1960), "The Errand Boy" (1961) and "The Patsy" (1964) to comment on celebrity and the star-making machinery of Hollywood. The film "Dr. Strangelove" (1964) starring Peter Sellers was a popular satire on the Cold War. Contemporary popular usage of the term "satire" is often very imprecise. While satire often uses caricature and parody, by no means all uses of these or other humorous devices are satiric.
