robert b Oct 13 Still holding up quite well. Entertaining. See more Will G @Kingofthepixies Oct 11 Ray milland, action hero! And a good one. Low budget but punches well above it's weight. You don't need to spend millions to make a taut little actioner. See more Xian C. @Filmclass Jul 27 This is a good period piece illustrating how ordinary people might have responded to a nuclear attack. They are moral but on the offensive to stay safe. Worth a watch. See more Cody W 10/22/2024 Academically I must acknowledge that its's an interesting product of the time and a strong example of the push for nuclear family and the push for masculenity. Personally, I find it to be a very dull male power fantasy. Harry is always correct and despite being an average guy, acts with military calm resourcefulness. It's incredibly annoying how correct he is about everything and how weak and hysterically the women are portrayed. Certainly not bad but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. See more Aldo G 05/26/2024 Roger Corman said that technicians complained to him that director Ray Milland was overwhelmed by both the directing and lead acting duties. But, overall, the results on this low-budget film about how a nuclear family reacts during and after a hydrogen bomb attack are admirable. See more David W 01/21/2024 A surprisingly effective depiction of how an average family in the 60's might react in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear strike on America. Ray Milland is excellent as always and a young Frankie Avalon gives one of his better performances. Nothing too gritty along say the lines of the much later Threads etc but still a memorable movie for its time. The very definition of a cult movie which sets out an early blueprint and clear set of 'rules' on how best to survive and not be caught unaware by your own naivety.. See more Read all reviews
