Five

Arch Oboler

Curious artifact from the early 50's. There's been a nuclear war and only five people survive. Will they survive and create a society that avoids the problems that wrecked the old one? Stay tuned.

Low budget film was actually not bad. Over-simplified some and not particularly believable but at least the film put the issues on the table and prompted thought. One of the characters was asinine, one died early...it was up to the three remaining humans to carry on. Then two. Good thing one was a man and one wasn't...
