Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Stanley Kramer's 1959 antiwar movie looks like everything Kramer did: subtle as a car wreck but undeniably affecting. Gregory Peck plays a submarine commander looking for survivors in Australia after a nuclear holocaust. Ava Gardner is among them and, somewhat improbably under the circumstances, becomes his love interest. Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins are among the characters awaiting death from the gradual spread of radiation from the north. One might scoff at Kramer's implicit finger-wagging about nuclear politics in this mad, mad, mad, mad world, but it is hard to stop watching this compelling drama all the same. --Tom Keogh

On the Beach (Stanley Kramer, 1959)
I saw this movie weeks ago, and honestly, I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that Anthony Perkins wasn't playing someone who was doomed while everyone else around him thrived (as per Psycho or The Trial, naturally). However, it's not too much of a stretch; Perkins' character, Peter Holmes, is most certainly doomed. But here, so is everyone else.
In case you've never read the book (and let me tell you here that you should do ... Read More

Nuclear fallout, radioactive dust actually, is drifting southward. On the Beach follows the final days of a few Naval men, a drunk changing her ways, and a scientist who knows the minutia of the impending doom.

I saw On the Beach, as a young boy in 1959, and have never forgotten it, nor it's impacting, hard hitting, unforgettable images! Nobody really knew what to expect from the movie. The movie didn't upset me, but rather, caused me to better understand all that was going on in the world and with the Cold War. (It was a time where "air raid drills" were commonplace in my elementary school . . . all students, single file into the hallways, kneeling down against the wall, hands over head, elbows on the floor ...

I have always enjoyed watching "On The Beach" It's a good story well filmed and acted. It's sad to think all the main stars are no longer with us. The film was shot mainly around Melbourne Australia, and it was a big deal to have Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins in our City back in 1958. Stanly Kramer shot the interiors of the sub at the Melbourne Showground on a specially built set, mainly of wood, but looked so like the steel interior of an atomic submarine. Ava Gardner made ...
