The idea that the world's superpowers could cause the end of the world with nuclear testing is only too real and this film attempts to portray the subject quite well for 1961. The only real problem I have with this film is the dialogue. The actors are very well known and established but it seems as though they have to fill every second with rushed dialogue, there are no spaces between lines. The newsroom scenes are the worst, I know that in real life, newsrooms can be quite busy, but the rushed, monotone, ceaseless dialogue is annoying and seems quite amateur at times.
