Subject: Booom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
An okay collection of short newsbites about the delelopment of the Atom bomb. I'm not going to review every one, because most of them are very similar to each other. It was quite interesting though to see the soldiers inch closer and closer to the bomb in each test, hiding of course in trenches, as if that'll help. We also see underground tests, tests on houses (footage which exists in other films on the prelinger site), footage of the first atomic submarine launch, and some footage about atoms for peace. But that's a minor piece of course, because we all know that the 'awful cloud' is all about destruction..
