Atomic Attack - PT1
Atomic Attack - PT1: Great 1950's melodrama about what an atomic bomb attack could do to a typical middle-class American family. Taking its cue from "Duck and Cover", this film suggests that not only can an atomic bomb attack on 12 major cities in the US be fought and survived, but that the quiet New York suburb where this story takes place (only 70 miles from ground zero), can be almost totally unaffected and back to normal within days after such an attack.
