A state trooper and a group of motorists at a roadblock learn that an atomic attack is imminent.

Fear is the driving force in this gritty little melodrama, realistic in some ways, but illogical in others.

A prime example of the illogical story elements is the fact that when the attack comes, some of the motorist survive by hiding in their vehicles, while others die because they stay outside. I'm pretty sure none of these folks would have survived, even if some of them had hidden in lead-line refrigerators. Rolling Eyes






But the film does have its fair share of dramatic moments. Starring Seamon Glass and Mary Morlas. Directed by F. Gadette.

I was pretty sure YouTube would have this rare movie, and by gum they do. You can tell from the way the longer names in the title work run off the screen that this 4:3 version is a clipped widescreen image.

There are several YouTube providers of the movie, but they all look the same, except for one which has a 4:3 image stretched horizontally. (Good Lord, are there really people who think that makes it better? Kinda sad, ain't it? Rolling Eyes)

Anyway, if you've always wondered about this one and you've got an hour and twelve minutes to kill, her ya go. Enjoy.

Here's another YouTube member who has created Drive-in Double Feature videos which includes a vintage drive-in "welcome messages”, the trailer for the movies, and a double feature

It even has those great old “snack bar” promos during intermission!


"So, get comfortable, folks! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!" Very Happy

Enjoy!
