  • Old cold war story

    Old cold war story about the BS the government tells people . They were frightening times that people today have no conception. Watch - enjoy the story- ignore the dated animation- think about it.

  • Still relevant!

    Very touching account of an old couple who naively believe the stuff upper lip of coping with ww2 will see them through nuclear war. Although it looks a bit dated due to its age, it's still a relevant issue today. A remake of this should be made for today's generation!

  • Brilliant!

    You will not be disappointed! The characters come to life in a delightful way, whilst not detracting from the very real message. An absolute must see.
