And not to take anything away from this being one of the first post-apocalyptic films (if not the first); I just found it a bit stilted, especially in the dialogue. Oboler did make the most of what was obviously a miniscule budget. I thought the visit to the deserted city, where the woman learns the fate of her husband, was suitably haunting, but Harry Belafonte had it beat in the next film aired on TCM, The World, The Flesh, and The Devil (which in its second half seemed very preachy and unsubtle, but was no doubt quite daring in 1959).
