I accidentally ran across this film on one of the Roku channels. I had never heard of it and thought I would give it a shot. I was not disappointed. It's an apocalyptic film without the zombies and gore--just the struggles of five people thrown together. It deals with the good and evil of mankind and focuses upon the relationships built by these five individuals. If you're into zombies and plagues, then stay away! But if you like solid drama based upon character development, then this is a movies you should see. I liked it enough to purchase my own copy!Five

The official review about this film is correct it is the first post nuke film that i know of. I do not have this copy of the movie but I do have a bad copy made from an old film.

The movie is exactly how I remember it from the first time I say it on TV over 30 years ago maybe close to 40 years. It is about a group of 5 people who gather in Arch Oboler's house (yes it was filmed in his Frank Loyld Wright house).

This movie will disappoint all of the five year old's out there because it is a slow moving introspective picture about the 5 who try and to some degree fail to live together in this house. The movie was made at a time when action was not the only prerequisite for a movie. There are no explosions and no real scenes of mass destruction and of course it is in black and white, so there is another reason for the 5 year old's to not like it. There are 4 men and one pregnant woman at the beginning and at the end it is more of and Adam and Eve beginning.

This DVD transfer looks worlds better than previous VHS versions, but is still marred by problems that go back to the condition of the master print. But it's an excellent reminder that Arch Oboler was ahead of the pack in so many respects. Here he is, creating the first film about the survivors of a world-devastating nuclear exchange, establishing the language and tone--and setting the bar--for many films that followed. For all its apparent simplicity, FIVE contains complex characterizations and uncompromising moments of confrontation and narrative development, as well as some unforgettable images.

Interesting movie on several elements.
This must be the ancestor of the many, many post-apocalyptic movies.
Without the special effects & heavy-handed gore of today's efforts in that genre, this focuses entirely on the characters and the situation they are trapped in.
If you like the Sirius XM retro-radio shows, including the Arch Oboler series "Lights Out", this will be one you want to watch.
Like the radio series of the 30's-early-60's it's a theatre of the mind.
You see the world through the eyes of these survivors, and it's really quite dramatic without being heavy-handed.
I would give a fifth star except for a few plot twists I found unsatisfying (but not annoyingly so).
Highly recommended.

Arch Oboler tells the tale of man's struggle to remain human in one of the first post-apocalyptic films ever...sure, there are details that aren't congruous with the timelines, but this is nit-picking with the benefit of hindsight...remember, this film was released in 1951...just six years after the bombing of japan ushered in the age of Atomis Warfare...great insight into the human condition...would have given it five stars, but the euro-trash white supremacist's God-awful mishmash of an accent is just too much to go unpunished...rant over/soap box firmly stowed...please proceed...

This is one sad movie. Very good ,but sad. The story is very good and very realistic . Acting is never over the top. Rough story about atomic war but well done. Dvd was new and played great. Shipping was on time and well packaged.

an early 1951 post-apocalyptic movie about 4 men and 1 woman who ultimately find each other after the nuclear holocaust. anxiety about nuclear destruction and the cold war were very common themes in some sci-fi and horror movies of that time period. this movie isn't as campy as other reviewers may make it out to be. the acting isn't the best and not much for special affects, but still it is an entertaining movie. drama, conflict, racism, murder, are all blended in with a minimal background (filmed in director's arch oboler's frank lloyd wright cliff house). bonus material is fun: "how to be an arch villian" and "secrets of deception" are a couple of shorts, with recipes for a dirty martini and secret martini. also included is the trailer which really promises more than this movie could deliver. overall, an enjoyable viewing if you like the earlier b&w end of the world type of movies.

This is an unusual movie, a precursor to "The World, The Flesh and The Devil" in that it's about a handful of survivors following a nuclear war. It's even more unusual that a Black man is included (as was Harry Belafonte's character in the comparable movie noted). I won't give away more but I will say that it's worth watching.
