Review of Panic in Year Zero! (1962) by Zach T — 03 Aug 2012
Some older movies stand the test of time very well, Panic in Year Zero is NOT one of those films. The movie was horrid. Funny and campy in all the wrong ways and a definite device to prove that Frankie Avalon is a tool.
This film should have had William Shatner because the cast acted as choppy as he does. One thing I will give this movie is that its a time capsule of a time before women's rights. The message of the movie is that women are weak and wouldn't be able to take care of themselves.
Not being from that time, it would be easy to write me off as not understanding of the era but even for a campy 60's flick, NO mother would have acted as weak and wishy washy as this one did. Every real mother would be fiercer than her husband to defend her loved ones.
