A collection of 1940s and 1950s United States government-issued propaganda films designed to reassure Americans that the atomic bomb was not a threat to their safety.
From memory: Both disturbing and highly entertaining, this documentary successfully depicts the hilarious naive attempts to ease the bomb scare with the gallows humor of the 1980s, which may be no longer conceivable for younger generations.
Maltin***: "Consistently chilling, occasionally hilarious, arguably monotonal compilation...One-of-a-kind is undeniably provocative, to say nothing of topical, but argues its point a little longer than necessary."
