Review of The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) by Richard L — 07 Oct 2010
This movis is set in a soon-to-be-post-apocalyptic, nuclear cold-war era UK, with an improbable yet highly original scientific twist (climate change) that is clearly relevant in today's context. The story is told from people working in a newspaper's point of view, so you also get some "insider view" on the media.
The rhythm is fast, the acting is strong, and the dialogue has film noir elements with a distinct touch of British humor. The ending is awesome.
