Duck and Cover-1951

Imminent nuclear explosion? Just hide under your desk or picnic blanket - Bert the Turtle shows you how. This looks very funny and folksy now but in the 50's the paranoia about commies and the bomb was in full swing. Apart from public service messages like this nearly every sci-fi film had a "reds under the bed" sub-plot which makes excellent viewing for bad movie freaks like m'self.
