Panic in Year Zero

1962

Re-released as The End of the World, 1962

Producer: Ray Milland

Cast Includes: Ray Milland, Jean Hagen, Frankie Avalon, Mary Mitchel, Joan Freeman, Richard Garland

MS Cinemania 1994:

Intriguing film about a family that escapes atomic bomb explosion to find a situation of every-man-for-himself. Milland doubles as actor-director. Good cast, but loud, tinny music spoils much of film's effects.

The Primal Screen:

A much better (than The Last Woman On Earth) after-the-Bomb movie is Panic In Year Zero, though its basic message is a distasteful one. A visual handbook for the Survivalist movement, it stars Ray Milland
