If I saw it I don't remember it. Must not of had much of an impression. I was in a catholic school with nuns back then. They might not have shown it at all.

I was living in a city of about 400,000 people in 1952. Don't remember the movie but I do remember doing the "Duck and Cover" - but more time spent doing it in the hallways than under a desk.
There was probably a certain amount of civic pride involved in who did or didn't see the movie: "Our city is big enough / important enough to get bombed." Having a military installation nearby probably skewed the level of "importance"...

Back then our town was a factory town, but not much else. No huge industries. It is now the 2nd largest town in Il. Has an international airport, but most of the factories are gone and crime is worse then Chicago. Nice suburbs but nothing left of downtown.

Went toschool in a town of around 1200 people, located about 12 miles from Pantex Plant where the nuclear bombs were being built. Yes, they showed the film and had drills for relocating to fallout shelters nearby via bus. |
