This 8-minute film from the Office of Civil Defense, made in 1955, sought to dispel many of the common myths and fallacies about radioactive fallout. This film drips with Eisenhower fuzziness; promoting a cozy, nuclear-war-isn't-so-bad approach. As long as we "know the facts" and "act intelligently," the narrator assures us, we'll be able to weather any nuclear firestorm that blows our way.
