About this product

Product Information

After the entire Northern Hemisphere is destroyed by a nuclear war, a group of survivors in Australia prepare for their own inevitable demise. As a deadly cloud of radiation creeps toward the continent, some survivors cling to hopes that life as they know it has continued somewhere, hopes that are fed by the discovery of a mysterious, erratic radio signal emanating from San Diego. Others, such as Astaire's sardonic, race-car driving physicist and Gardner's world-weary, tippling party girl, throw their energies into squeezing the last drops from their lives. A grim, unflinching clarion call for sanity that inches along at a maddeningly deliberate and suspenseful pace. Based on the novel by Nevil Shute. Academy Award Nominations: 2, Best Editing (Frederic Knudtson) and Best Score (Ernest Gold).

Buy it for the Vintage Sports Cars
Truth be told, I bought this movie for its vintage car race footage, having seen only a portion of it on a late night TV show, it tweeked my curiosity. Based on a novel by Nevil Shute(a race car enthusiast as well as a reknown author), the movie was made in the 1959, and is set around the aftermath of a global nuclear holocaust. Gregory Peck is the captain of an American Navy submarine that has put in to Australia, the only remaining country unscathed by the carnage, but a nuclear "cloud" is slowly covering the earth, and everyone knows their days are numbered. As a result of this impending threat, various characters in the movie are playing out their last days in different ways. One of the other main characters, Fred Astaire wants to win the Australian Gran Prix in his Ferrari and does so, in a race (mostly filmed at Riverside raceway in California)that includes a Mercedes gullwing, a Corvette, Lotus, and other "now vintage" racers. Most crash-out due to Astaire's overly-aggressive driving. Fred Astaire retreats to his garage with his winning Ferrari and proceeds to drill holes in the bonnet and afix the larger "Winner" plaque to it! This Ferrari is now worth millions of dollars, and knowing that today, it's absolutely crazy to see him drilling holes in this beauty, not to mention bearing witness to the vintage racer carnage that took place on the track! (In one scene, you can actually see the towbar on the front of the Corvette as it's "towed" off a cliff by the race car in front of it.) This movie is second-only to the original Italian job for the destruction of now-vintage sports cars. The overall tone of the movie is a real "downer," as it's inevitable that everyone is done for. Apparently in the atomic 50's, when this movie came out, it was a real stunner, but today it reads as an interesting study in the mind-set of those times. As a 1950's atomic holocaust movie, it still holds up, but buy it for the vintage cars...Read full review

55 years since, no threat anymore?
A must see for everyone who craves life, however miniscule it has become. The book we read in High School. The world was in chaos in the 1960's. Has it gotten safer since? You have to wonder. What can I say about the caliber of actors we had then? I haven't seen the 2000 mini-series. The timing couldn't have been better, for the world would get a preview of the new century unfolding, beginning with 911. Gloom and doom? Maybe not. For as they faced their ultimate demise, they learned that love trumps everything else. Item of curiosity: At the end of the B&W masterpiece, a sign reads 1964. The movie was made in 1959. ??? Smile and giggle on Facebook everyone. The world hasn't ended after all. Really?

This is NOT a "beach" movie.
I love that Ava Gardner & Gregory Peck are both in this movie...I love the fishing camp scene with Waltzing Mathilda...the love scene was not as believeable as I wish it were, & I gather this was the best Gregory Peck could act this scene. Every time I've seen it, I've wished he could've been more into it...he does "act" like he feels it, but kissing a woman hard isn't the same thing as kissing her good. Ava Gardner was far more believeable in the scene...guess we know why SHE drank now. Nonetheless, I have ALWAYS loved this movie, maybe only because I saw it the first time when I "believed" that an atomic halocaust could actually be this clean. When it was made, reality wasn't one of the commondities we felt were important...now I wonder where they would've put all the rotting bodies. Thank you, tsunami. Thank you, New Orleans.Read full review

The Big Boom
This 50's movie derived from Nevil Shute's book of the same name addresses nuclear holocaust in the cold war. Only southern Australia people are left alive and their time is coming quickly. A great read and a great movie that are very timely indeed in our current situation... Right, Mr. Putin?

Scary and a possiblity that may become a probability anytime now!
This should be required for most global citizens to watch. It is a about the end of the world following a global nuclear war in 1959. It is a warning that this dark, depressing scenario where the human race ends most life on the planet. With the proiferation of nuclear weaopns in today's world this could actually happen - possibly sometime in the near future.

Still a strong film
I saw part of this movie on PBS one evening and had to buy the DVD to watch it in its entirety. As other reviewers note, the film follows the lives of a few key people around an American submarine in Australia, who are whittling away the last months of animal life on planet earth as radiation from a brief and possibly accidental nuclear war between the super-powers slowly circled its way South around the globe. The film skips technical questions, and focuses on great acting by leads Gregory Peck, Anthony Perkins, Fred Astaire and Ava Gardner. It is a very haunting movie, and looses nothing even though the "Cold War" is not as hot as it was in 1960. It is very worthwhile to watch.

A Movie That Changed the World
On The Beach is a movie that gives one a very real picture of the dangers of nuclear power. It’s about destruction of our planet by man. It shows the after effects of radiation on people in a very realistic story.

On The Beach
After seeing the 2000 mini series, I decided to buy the original movie. The movie was not quite as chilling as the mini series and obviously NOT shot in Australia but still the writing was excellent and Gregory Peck satisfies completely as the eye-candy of the day. After a nuclear war wipes out all life in the northern hemisphere, Dwight Towers, captain of an American submarine, submerged during the actual conflict, takes his boat to Australia and becomes part of the Australian Navy. Scientists theorize that the radiation levels in the northern hemisphere may have dissipated more quickly than thought and send Capt. Towers and his crew, along with an Australian liason and a scientist to the west coast of America to take radiation readings. The boat surfaces in Alaska only to find that the radiation is still to high for humans to survive. Meanwhile, they begin receiving Morse code but it is random jibberish. They locate the signal outside of San Diego and travel there. A lone officer, wearing a radioactive protective suit, finds the source of the signal -- a coke bottle has fallen across the pull cord of a window shade and is lying across the transmitter. Crestfallen, he returns to the boat and they return to Australia to relay the grim news. Life in the northern hemisphere is over and the radiation cloud is moving their way. The movie has a sobering warning about nuclear warfare. In the end no one wins. It's a good movie and the mini series is just as good. Nevil Shute, British-born author wrote the book, which I have yet to read. He also wrote "A Town Like Alice" which was a terrific mini series release in the mid-1980s. Of course I have to toot e-Bay's horn here. Without a terrific organization like e-Bay and the top-notch sellers that trade on it, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy this film. My, what a wonderful technical age we live in. So much to appreciate. Thanks, e-Bay and Moviemagic!Read full review

Heavyweight you should come away from this one wanting to read the Guns of August.
A 1959 black and white classic, a thought provoking story of when things don't work out and how kind people can be to one another regardless.
