These atomic bomb films of the 50s are absolutely frightening, even more so today, because there are so many more countries that have them. The effects of radiation,blast,heat, etc. are discussed by detached narration. Some of the shorts imply that the bomb is not that big a problem, others in the collection are more honest. But they are all fascinating and creepy!

This collection of shorts about the atom bomb and how to survive is weird, scary, creepy, sometimes informative, but always fascinating. It’s such a compelling topic, and who is to say that we will but have an atomic attack in our lifetime? The shorts included are 1-Duck and Cover- , a notorious film with Bert the Turtle telling schoolchildren how to protect themselves.
2-About Fallout
3-Operation Cue-watch mannequins in army constructed homes get blown to smitherenes in the desert!
4-Radiological Defense- Shelters and canned goods for all!
5-Stay Safe, Stay Strong- The effects of gamma rays and nuclear weapons. Don’t worry if one is accidently dropped in your backyard. It probably won’t go off!
