[Fot] On the Beach...

Amici...

One of our local PBS TV Channels has been showing On The Beach these past few 
days.  Classic 1959 Hollywood take on Nevil Shute's post apocalyptic 
end-of-the-world all out nuclear war movie.  I was in the Navy then, and remember it 
well.  Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Tony Perkins, and a personal favorite...Ava 
Gardner.  I knew Fred Astaire was a 'hot shoe', but I thought it was for 
dancing.  No dancing here...he's into road racing stuff.  The open road race scenes 
are great to watch (although, as usual, Hollywood has taken some artistic 
license).  There are some disturbing crashes, but lots of great cars from the 
period.
