It's easier to prepare for Armageddon when you're stepping to that ragtime beat. According to Kofi Annan, 'the more that [nuclear weapon states]...insist that nuclear weapons are essential for their national security, the more other states feel that they too must have them for their security'. Despite this, the British goverment is pushing through plans for a new £25 billion trident missile. What would Gary Cooper say? This original footage comes from the Protect and Survive series, commissioned by the UK government to show people how to prepare for nuclear war.
Music is Puttin' on the Ritz, sung by Fred Astaire. Song published 1929 Irving Berlin. As used in the United Artists film.

How clever! The contrast between the sophistacted Hollywood music the visuals really works and somehow brings out the horror of the possible reality far more than some sort of catastrophic soundtrack would do. Top notch work.

You CANNOT combine thermonuclear armageddon with comedy. Oh alright, so you can.
First nuclear protest message that nearly made myself pee laughing.
Grew up in 70's London. We knew that if the bomb dropped, we were little piles of radioactive dust- no matter how much sand or heavy luggage we used.
Fantastic.
