Review of Panic in Year Zero! (1962) by Josh S — 26 Jan 2009

A family during his week-end trip has to face an 'extreme' situation: there's the beginning of nuclear bombing ! Society and Order are collapsing. Other humans (young teddy boys are a main danger ,for sure) they are a continous obstacle in the race for survival of the Family.

Good,moral,peaceful father (R.Milland) realizes very quicky there are no other ways to survive, he's breaking his moral barriers as well: it's the jungle's law! Many high tension scenes and an excellent 50s vs 60s mood for a very nice movie.
