“On The Beach”...A great Novel and Movie with Gregory peck and Ava Gardner. Young people have never read it or viewed the movie. I can’t forget the final scenes from Sydney Australia where the wind was blowing paper and trash around the empty street after people lined up to get suicide pills. I think TV ought to break this film out of the mothballs and let America see what the future could look like.
You’re right, a great book and a great movie. I was driving down one of the main thoroughfares here day before yesterday and it was deserted.
The first thing that came to mind was: “This could be a scene from On the Beach.” I told my wife about my reaction, and she had never heard of the book or movie. I was floored.
Anyway, I looked it up on Amazon Prime, so she could watch it, and they don’t have it. Bummer. I’d love to see it again.
