Sometimes you watch things, and they are so trapped in their own time period that they don't resonate in our time.  This movie is one of those.

In 1964 this must of been a shocking movie.

Today it seems horribly dated.  We are no longer afraid of the nuclear bomb, the Russians, or that a strike on our homeland is even a likely option.  We no longer live in a cold war, superpower world.

Its a cool look back, but i doubt i will watch it twice.
