On the Beach (1959)
A Great Movie. angelsunchained 9 April 2005. On The Beach was made in 1959 and it's still a fantastic movie some 46 years later. As great as all the performances are, the photography and the script are as out-standing. The only drawback to this black & white classic is the hauntingly depressing nature of the film.
Classic Film Review: The Saddest Movie Ever Made? "On the Beach" (1959
Most every cinema culture has produced movies guaranteed to make you cry -- films about untimely death, a life that shrinks in old age, small tragedies and ones as great as the Holocaust. But for sheer sadness, the deflating gloom of doom, you couldn't beat "On the Beach" in 1959 and I dare say it's…
On the Beach (1959)
Miss Gardner is remarkably revealing of the pathos of a wasted life. Fred Astaire is also amazing as the cynical scientist, conveying in his self-effacing manner a piercing sense of the irony of his trade. On the Beach is a solid film of considerable emotional, as well as cerebral, content.

On the Beach (1959) Starring: Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire
The story is told in a simple, straightforward manner. It is not overly dramatic but neither is it overly inspired either. On the Beach was shot in black & white as many dramas were at that time. It does feature some nice cinematography, and with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins in the four main roles it boasts plenty ...

On the Beach (1959)
Released at the height of the Cold War (and when most nuclear-themed films were sci-fi horror films like Them!), On the Beach is a very flawed but intensely powerful film. Rarely one for subtlety when preparing one of his famous "message" pictures, director Stanley Kramer tends to overemphasize the horror that nuclear war represents, negating ...

The continuing relevance of "On the Beach"
Hoping to make the greatest possible stir on the global scene, Stanley Kramer scheduled premieres of On the Beach in 18 world capitals—including Tokyo, London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Caracas, and New York City—on the very same day, December 17, 1959. Heads of state attended many of the screenings, along with the movie's stars.

Film Review: On The Beach (1959)
Compared to Oboler's rather wordy downbeat film, MacDougall's post-atomic war vision is superior in both script and direction. The plot is simple: black man finds white girl, white male racist finds both, and trouble develops. However, the film ends with all three of them walking off into the sunset together, suggesting the first post-nuke ...
On the Beach (1959) directed by Stanley Kramer
The kind of old Hollywood movie that has done great longterm damage to our collective culture by making death look easy, and I despise it so. On the Beach is a film that could have been great if it had been made in the 1970's by somebody like Hal Ashby or Sidney Lumet, or made today, by say, Danny Boyle. As is, this is a completely wooden and over-literal dud based on the remarkable 1957 ...
