Logan MacGyver, me too, I spent 24 years watching the “modern versions” of this type of film, and obviously learnt that survival was mostly about luck rather than preparation, preparation can only do so much, but if your in the wrong place at the wrong time your not going to survive, so looking back at these openly enthusiastic and moral filled films is interesting and at times humorous, black humour, but still humorous.

Fascinating and horrifying to me! I absolutely love them! But I try and imagine seeing these “public information” films at that time. Not knowing if the world was going to end, probably not knowing much about radiation. There had to be times that frightened the majority of viewers. The bad acting, filmed in black and white, crazy woman walking around outside w her baby trying to give it away. It’s 10-25-2020 and still find it awesome!
