  A great movie. The scene where Peck and Gardner finally "have at it" with a group outside their cottage singing a very melancholoy version of "Waltzing Matilda" still gives me goosebumps whenever I recall it. THe final scene with the the empty street and the banners still visible enscribed " There is still time brother" is especially haunting. I cannot watch this film too often, and never when there are guns in the house.

    Maybe Rico was subconsciously thinking of the Leo Caprio film The Beach which was SHITE ?

    LOL

• The "On the Beach" remake done a couple years ago is pretty decent, too. - MMasztal 10:22:04 10/15/04 (2)

  I saw it when it came out. It was so depressing that I never forgot it. The cola bottle was the highlight if I remember....
  It could have been " after the Cuba crisis " if turned sour.

  Agreed. This philosophy of the film fits with much of Peck's works and his social beliefs. This film could have been cheesy, but the performances elevate it beyond what it should have been. Must say that Peck was much ahead of his time with respect to his social views, particularly at a time when Hollywood swung the other way. Hollywood of today is more akin to how Peck was in the fifties.
