Long-standing Leftist approach:

I was there in 1961, it didn’t happen, and I’m still here.

Leftist zealots are so consistently science ignorant, that they have never, in my lifetime, been able to analyze and make a distinction between movies and reality.

My favorite, in terms of stupidity, is still The China Syndrome.

1961? That was the Year the Van Allen Belt went nuts in the movie: ‘Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea’. The sky was on fire baby!!!! (Peter Lorre, Barbara Eden, and others to the rescue with the mighty Submarine Seaview!!!)

I saw Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in a movie theater in the summer of 1961 and loved it--even though I knew that when an ice cap breaks up, the chunks of ice don't sink.

So did I, then again, Everything Submarines or underwater deals was my thing in those days. (Plus Barbara Eden’s rear view dance scene was worth the price of admission!!!!) Damn, now I’m gonna have to go to youtube and look that up if it is there! I’m to old and PC stupid to know how to put up a link here for FReepers, I know you can. If it is there put it up huh?

And the takeaway from that is that you should always send a submarine to solve any problems you have in space.

They did a very nice job of restoring and remastering the film.

Thanks for the movie. I’ve got a folder on my toolbar that is for movies only and just dragged and dropped this one in!

The glow-bull warmists don't know that.

“US vs USSR, and the UK is the one paying the price.”

Yes, that was always a key part of the Soviet divide and conquer strategy and propaganda targeting the societies of the Western Allies. The Soviets financed and helped to organize the CND and their political protests which you are seeing depicted in the movie. It was no accident when the CND Peace symbol was adopted for the anti-war and anti-nuclear weapons protest movements that focused on disarming the West and not the Soviet and other Communist nations.

I don’t know much about the UK “ban the bomb” movement but what I do know comes from my readings on the British underground/alternative press of the early-mid-60s that was there when Beats (beatniks) and rock and roll came into fashion.

IT (International Times), OZ, the Beats at Royal Albert Hall. Before those foundational events, there were the stirrings of the “ban the bomb” movement.
