Wow, I'm going to have to get a copy of that. I am morbidly obsessed with the idea of nuclear war and a nuclear holocaust. If anyone has any literature or movies they recommend on the topic (besides Threads, The Day After, anything by Ray Bradbury, Jericho, Hiroshima, 'On the Beach by Nevil Shute or its film, or any of the propaganda films from the 50s/60s) I'm very interested.
In fact, after seeing those Protect and Survive PSAs in Threads I went and found a couple more clips on the web. I find the sound effect at the end of those PSAs to be very creepy.
And if anyone here hasn't seen Atomic Cafe, I highly recommend it.
