This film, originally made for but banned from British television, is very much of its time. Newsreel-footage-like in style, it shows, from the 1960s perspective, the possible consequences of war. It was banned from television until 20 years after it was made, when I saw it, the night before the second time I saw "Threads", a much more up-to-date film on the same subject. It was shocking, but compared to similar films of the 1980s, quite tame.
