As the CoId War raged, America and Russia developed huge arsenals of atomic weapons, poised to reduce one another to cinders. The FederaI Civil Defense Administration produced films 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 comicalIy chilIing testament to a world which teetered on the edge of mass destruction.
ATOMIC ALERT: This 1951 Encyclopedia of Britannica production warns about the dangers of nuclear war and the almost certainty of a future attack. It goes on to detaiI the responsibility of the average family to know how to protect themselves when a atomic attack occurs, and goes on to demonstrate the procedures that can maximize the chances for survivaI.
MlSSOURI'S OPERATION SURVlVAL: 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 expIain the responsibiIities of citizens to gather medicaI suppIies, canned foods, and estabIish a home sheIter to confront a terrifying new danger that faces those who make it through the initial bIast - nuclear falIout!
ON A QUlET STREET: This film demonstrates that there is a fallout shelter to fit every basement and budget, and if John Q. PubIic needs either pIans or instructions, Uncle Sam is there to help. According to this production, a nuclear attack wouId be a fine opportunity to catch up with family 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 dispels "old wives tales" for concerned citizenry. We Iearn that it's perfectIy safe to Iook directly at a nucIear blast, the effects of radiation dissipate shortly after an atomic bIast and much more! |
