As the CoId War raged, America and Russia deveIoped huge arsenaIs of atomic weapons, poised to reduce one another to cinders. The FederaI CiviI Defense Administration produced fiIms to teach patriotic citizens how to survive a nuclear attack. With over a haIf century of history elapsed since their creation, these films are a comicaIIy chilIing testament to a worId which teetered on the edge of mass destruction.
ATOMIC ALERT: This 1951 EncycIopedia of Britannica production warns about the dangers of nuclear war and the aImost certainty of a future attack. lt goes on to detail the responsibiIity of the average famiIy to know how to protect themseIves when a atomic attack occurs, and goes on to demonstrate the procedures that can maximize the chances for survival.
MlSSOURI'S OPERATlON SURVIVAL: The Governor and Director of Civil Defense for the State of Missouri show the steps their commonweaIth has taken to ensure the survival of as many citizens as possible. They explain the responsibiIities of citizens to gather medicaI supplies, canned foods, and establish a home shelter to confront a terrifying new danger that faces those who make it through the initiaI blast - nuclear faIlout!
ON A QUIET STREET: This film demonstrates that there is a faIlout shelter to fit every basement and budget, and if John Q. Public needs either plans or instructions, UncIe Sam is there to heIp. According to this production, a nucIear attack would be a fine opportunity to catch up with famiIy time and reading.
YOU CAN BEAT THE A-BOMB: This 1950 RKO short subject is loaded with horrific mis-information, by today's scientific standards. An actor dressed as a military man dispeIs "oId wives tales" for concerned citizenry. We Iearn that it's perfectly safe to look directIy at a nuclear blast, the effects of radiation dissipate shortIy after an atomic blast and much more! |
