1956.  It's Kubrick's best American film, taking place almost entirely
at a racetrack and featuring a splendid performance by Sterling Hayden. 
It's a great crime film but I'll take Dr. Strangelove for Peter
Sellers's 

Between George Jones's accident, Dusty Springfield succumbing to cancer,
Del Close (the mind behind Second City's best improv comedy over the
past 40 years) dying and now Kubrick, it's been an awful week for
accomplished artists.
