This is a fantastic scene from one of my favourite apocalypse films, On the Beach (1959), based on the novel by Nevil Shute. Great dialogue and some gentle, subtle acting from Fred Astaire. https://youtu.be/TMRZmZW5Uzc?si=UtQIHahxaJh_jWQX #onthebeach #nevilshute

Just switched on the TV. The BBC has an item about people booking holidays through a company called "On The Beach" and being disappointed.

Have none of them read Nevil Shute's novel ? They got off lightly...

Book 5 of my #2023reads was Trustee From The Toolroom by Nevil Shute. A wonderful book that takes you on a journey through the mid Pacific. Heartwarming tale if you suspend belief.
