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).

Pregnant women don't GET x-rayed!", etc., etc.).

Arch Obler's Sci-Fi epic - FIVE from 1951
The man known for his classic radio show "Light Out" hit the big screen in 1951 with this post-nuclear war science fiction film. Five survivors of nuclear war hole up in an amazing, futuristic house (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright). But, conflict, tension, and thrills could lead to the extinction of the remaining five people on our earth! Finally released to DVD, this was in theatre the same time the other early science fiction film was - THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD. Get FIVE (1951) today in our New DVD Department here at Creepy Classics.
