On The Beach is a Nevil Shute novel made into a movie twice once with Gregory Peck and again with Armand Assante. The Armand Assante version is just a few years old. It also stars Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown.

It is a meditation upon the ending of a life on earth in the aftermath of a nuclear war.

I was fortunate enough to find it on the web and give you the link as well.

I’m not posting much today, I’m still pretty stiff after wrenching my neck and I promise you, it’s playing hell with my concentration.
