Audience Member Low budget, but great plot and acting for the day. Very fun and tense in a great 1960 way. The less said about the miniatures used the better, but very entertaining. The movie info. on this site contains a huge spoiler. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Subtle critic on the nuclear age, but fashioned into a tense drama in both of its two acts. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
