Discovering this film on one of my old tapes reminded me how powerful it was. We see dramatic world events filtered through newspaper and television. The elderly couple struggle to understand what is going on and cope with the aftermath. A serious look at the effects of a nuclear war is never going to produce a happy film. Threads is a more gruesome look at the same topic.

I really like films that play about with time, Groundhog Day is one of my favourite films and the obvious one to compare it to. In this film the explanation is part of the plot. It's less serious and definitely has some funny moments. Not as fulfilling but something you can still enjoy.
