________________________________

This is a wonderful movie, especially in view of the fact that it was made on a shoestring budget! Very Happy

I have a DVD-R of this movie from TCM which I made over a decade ago. I really loved making copies of movies from TCM — but then I upgraded to an HD DISH receiver and discovering that my DVD-R recorder no longer worked with the new equipment!

Oh well . . . Smile

But this movie is great, and my DVD-R has before-and-after comments by the late Robert Osborn!

So, even though my home-made disc might lack a few things a "store-bought" version has, my disc is a personal creation by yours truly. Very Happy

I'm surprised by two things concerning this movie.

The first thing is that I personally like it — despite leaning strongly towards less downbeat movies than this one.

The second thing is that BoG was lukewarm about it, despite being enthusiastic about many other movies that seem to fall into this category. I'm often surprised by what BoG liked and didn't like. Confused

I'd like to add the fact that the movie ends with a somewhat optimist note when the two surviving humans are shown creating a new life for themselves and the human race!
