On the Beach ★★★½ 1959
A group of survivors attempt to live normal lives in post-apocalyptic Australia, waiting for the inevitable arrival of killer radiation. Astaire is strong in his first dramatic role. Though scientifically implausible, still a good anti-war vehicle. Based on the bestselling novel by Nevil Shute. 135m/B VHS, DVD . Gregory Peck, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire; D: Stanley Kramer; W: John Paxton; C: Daniel F. Fapp; M: Ernest Gold. Golden Globes ‘60: Score.
