I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

What a beautiful movie!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is an educational short from the 1950s. There will be mild spoilers ahead:What I'm going to write shortly probably isn't going to satisfy anyone, but that's life. Judged solely by its technical aspects and basic style, this is a nice little short well worth watching. Nice bits of animation are worth seeing.As to the informational value, it's really not as good or bad as either its supporters or its detractors think. In some instances, the advice given would be very helpful. The best advice which could be given was, "Be in a good, solid structure not directly damaged by the blast and away from any exposure to the flash".If you were sitting in a windowless classroom which was not seriously damaged in the blast, good for you. Your immediate survival chances were good. But if you were in a classroom with lots of open windows facing the blast, "duck and cover" under the typical desk found in a school room is of vanishingly little value.There were Allied POWs being held in Nagasaki who were basically sheltered in a ditch with a tent covering them. Most of them stayed inside the tent with the flap closed. The few who went outside to have a look all died immediately. The ones in the ditch under the tent survived.There's useful and not so useful information here for the time period. This isn't quite as ridiculous as it seems nowadays.This short is on a number of PD DVDs as well as online and is worth watching.

African-Americans are not discriminated against, mom doesn't want to work, she wants to bake in the kitchen all day until she can attend to father when he gets home from work, there is no pain or suffering in the world and: Yes! You too can survive a nuclear blast just by following the instructions to "Duck and Cover"! This short little film is an incredibly insightful look into life in America in the 1950s (without setting out to do that, of course). Problems didn't exist because the government said they didn't exist. What is incredible in the 21st Century is that, for the most part, Americans really believed this. Maybe the 1950s were a product of those that survived the horrors of World War II. Maybe they invented the "perfect" 1950s to hide the pain from what they experienced in the Pacific and in Europe during WW II. In any case, if you want a short encapsulated view of the surreal life in America in the 1950s, watch this little gem. This should be required viewing for any course about life in post-WW II America.

I'm sure the atomic bomb scares caused them to make this film to ease children's fears of an incident, by giving them hope that by covering their head and neck, they'd have a chance of survival. But, it's hilarious- there's no way those who made the film could have believed what they were saying, and the way things are acted out make it even funnier.

All through grade school we did the various drills and I remember seeing the film during that time. After all that trained paranoia, it made the Cuban Missle Crisis far scarier than it looks like today in Thirteen Days.Of course the film appears comical today, but I do remember being cynical about the duck and cover drill back in 4th grade. I distinctly remember telling my desk partner (Pam) that I didn't think the drill would do any good if the bomb actually drops cause we'd all be killed anyway.It's fun to look back on this film and have a good laugh though. Even more ludicrous are the governmental lies and denials--on the second sequence they state that "thousands of lives at Hiroshima could have been saved if they had known to 'Duck and Cover'"
