This is a great little gem of a film.
I purchased a 16mm print of this film not knowing what it was, but I was delighted to find such a creative, fun look at how the average American would react to the end of the world. "Why isn't the government doing something about it?"
The husband and wife characters are like people I know -- the wife is wrapped up in watching TV and eating while the husband is concerned about the head on his beer.
As the hour of death draws near, Americans crowd Times Square and watch fireworks like it was the dawn of New Year.
The ending is great.
Obviously low budget, this film is nevertheless very enjoyable. It brings howls of laughter from audience I show it to at our movie nights in our basement "theater."
highly recommended.
