Blurb:”A major accomplishment
A movie produced in Great Britain has been building the kind of reputation that will insure that it will be remembered and reshown for years to come. And the movie may itself contribute to there being a future in which it can be remembered.
THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE has as its theme the effects on nature of casual experiments employing megatons of atomic energy. When the head of one of the world's most powerful states can admit to a 20 megaton mistake in an atom test, what might have been thought yesterday to be science fiction becomes the likelihood of today.
Yet, as the editor of the Daily Express says, "No one cares until it affects him personally." This is the greatest value of the movie and the book. It is totally effective in recording the behavior of everyday people, and therefore is so terrifyingly real.”
