i think the radiation eventually subsided, and a small number of australians survived, and these survivors tried to re-build society, but it was tough-doing, and that's when mad max ( mel gibson ) came on the scene.
@jumbodee1 The On The Beach DVD is available for purchase on line - some NEW at under five bucks. Listening to this via a studio quality recording would certainly be a delight, but listening and viewing it simultaneously as it occurs in the course of the movie is a bona fide heart wrencher. The final Gardner/Peck "love" scenes at the end of the movie - with that awesome cinematography - are, in my opinion, the most romantic - albeit tragic - in motion picture history. Armageddon Love!
No mistaking the soloist: it's Bell. There are a few other recordings on him on YT. He does a brief solo in the Whiffenpoof song that's posted here: watch?v=ExPlz_59oJ8 .
Yes it sounds like Bell. I think I also hear Bill Lee and Max Smith, who were with the Mellomen. Like others said, the fourth could have been anybody who was around.
@Croonr1 The soloist does sound like Gurney Bell. It's unlikely that the studio would have hired a group for that short of a bit.
Back then, studios would have used in-house first, then whoever was available. They would have wanted a good soloist (Bell, Thurl Ravenscroft, Marty Sperzell, Bill Lee, etc.), but for that short of a bit, the others would be whoever happened to be on property, then whoever answered the phone--and who would work for scale.
A wonderfully romantic scene, with one of the most beautiful songs. A perfect match. Many thanks for uploading this gem.

Does anyone have an mp3 of this (that is, the actual recording with the revelers who suddenly transform into a beautiful quartet...?)

I don't know who the group is but I know with complete certainty that it's not The Sportsmen.
