That was quite sweet. Love does conquer all (after all).
FYI: Nelly's Folly was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1962

It's actually a fine picture, but I'm not in the mood for it. Bleak doesn't even begin to describe it. Yet policy makes gave serious consideration to the "neutron bomb" some years ago (max. the radiation/min. the blast effects). So, I can see many of the scenes ringing true.

At the start of #TheLastWar, the *war* hasnβt begun yet with the rising tensions told through the story of a family. The father (seeing his hopes for the future of his family being threaten) and the lovers split by the conflict. It ends, however, in a similar fashion as the 1959 film. π

And while TCM will *never* show it, there was a 1961 Toho version of #OnTheBeach called #TheLastWar. Featuring some of the same actors that youβll see in their Godzilla films it too is actually quite good. And in a twist, the human scenes are better than the effects.

There is simply no way that Iβm in the mood for #OnTheBeach (even the plot summary on wiki is depressing). Yet it isn't a bad film and was even remade in 2000 and starred Armand Assante and Rachel Ward in the roles made famous by Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner.

Although Godzilla wasn't directly inspired by #Them (that would have been the 1953 re-release of King Kong) it did lead to the 1956 version called "Godzilla: King of The Monsters"

Indeed, it did.
Between #TheThingFrromAnotheraWorld and #Them he had quite the streak going. This film did - however - bring Arness to the attention of a couple of major players.

Same.
#OnTheBeach is a bit too depressing for me at the moment. I'll hang around at the start only to note the similarities that it has to a Toho film released a few years later called "The Last War"
Now giant ants are FUN!

Just caught the tail end of #INeverSangForMyFather and was completely pulled in. Like you, I'd never seen it before, but the performances are intense. I need to track it down for a future watch.

That would make "legs" (Tisha Sterling) "probably the toughest of the lot". And we all know that Verna (Virginia Mayo) can backstab with the best of them.
