On the beach
Recommended3/4 · Good. I would recommend it, with the caveats in the review.
One of the best classic doomsday films that still holds up. It's a drama, with very little action happening, where different characters confront their impending death in only five months after the rest of the world has already died, which makes for an original setting.

What it's about
In 1964, atomic war wipes out humanity in the northern hemisphere; one American submarine finds temporary safe haven in Australia, where life-as-usual covers growing despair. In denial about the loss of his wife and children in the holocaust, American Captain Towers meets careworn but gorgeous Moira Davidson, who begins to fall for him. The sub returns after reconnaissance a month (or less) before the end; will Towers and Moira find comfort with each other?
