One of the best movies ever made. A classic
Like any real piece of art, age only improves it.
So wonderful, and Ava was at her most beautiful.
ABSOLUTELY!!
You got that right!
This movie still gives me chills after all these years.
You got that right
An incredibly beautiful version of a great song. Without a doubt the best film that nobody has seen
@Michael - There is still time, brother (to see this film). But time is running out...
Michael Ellis At the time, it was popular. It was made during Stanley Kramer's masterpiece run (1958-1961). Fifty years ago, my Nana and I saw it on ABC's The Early Show in the afternoon.
@@nstix2009xitsn My oldies saw the film in it’s original theatre run, and they both found it to be a bit disturbing. Coming from a B-52 pilot, that says a lot.
@@charlesbrown9213 Scared the snot right out of nine year old me. Duck and Cover. And now the possibility of this horror is once again real.
@@susankaesler5516 I was older than 9, 😂...going out for my daily walking now. Will watch movie later on..free on yt, can screen to TV. ☮️🌴🙃
Great movie and this symphonic version turns a simple folk song into a thing of absolute beauty.
this was the greatest pandemic movie and i couldn't get anybody to watch it. it's a poignantly great movie. the best thing ava gardner ever did. just a classic.
This is SO MUCH better than the later Australia re-make. This opening always gives me chills. Gregory Peck has the weight of the world on him.
A devastating film. I can never see the final sequence without crying like a baby.
I know how you feel. The end gets to me too.
Nevil is Shute one of the world's best writers and Waltzing Matilda is done fantastically.
"There is still time...brother." Decades after seeing this film, those words remain with me.
A profound film. As ex-US Navy, the finale, with the sub heading out to sea, chokes me up.
If I remember correctly, the idea was they’d take her to crush depth so their deaths would be swift
One of the greatest films ever!
Awesome!
Just chokes me up ... every time ...
What a great movie and a great piece of music. A combination of the United Staes of America and Australia, it does not get any better than that.
The most stunning version of this piece I have ever heard. So special to hear this at the end of this landmark and timeless movie. Thank you for posting this!!
A great movie. I can never hear this song without thinking of the movie. Scared me more than any other movie as a child. We were so afraid of nuclear war then.
Still am.
A beautiful version of a beautiful song.
What a completely AWESOME movie and song... They certainly do not make them like that anymore...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but the 1999 remake was fantastic also.
"There is still time, Brother"
Yeah, right ...
the names on the title sequence all appear to be etched into glass. a brilliant touch.
THERE IS STILL TIME.... BROTHER.
Great movie.
Sounds joyful and sad.
Ernest Gold's beautiful score suited the movie perfectly: uplifting yet poignant. I agree, though, it would have been very effective if Peck had asked his Executive Officer to command the Sawfish on its final departure, while he spent the final days with Ava at her peaceful farm, where they could leave life together.
Not so sure. That might of "buried the headline" by overemphasizing the romance aspect of the film instead of focusing on the hopelessness (which was the point). Loved the symbolism of the submarine surfacing at the start of the movie and then descending into the ocean at the end.
That's the approach the later Australian remake took. I think it was a real mistake and a "soft" ending. Gregory Peck has to go with his men. He loves her, but he needs the respect of his men more.
My favorit book on my literature list for Atheneum!
It's funny how it's the only song they really use in the movie
Having seen this movie, it reminds me of what's next for the world...
Susan Lamb No, it doesn't. Don't be ridic.
If Putin has his way.
I've seen it and its a truly sad song for a war that never happened, thank God.
The movie that changed the world.
Jack Thompson No, it didn't.
@@nstix2009xitsn But it should have!
This ending differs from the one I have always thought was 'the official' ending. This one is significantly better. Congrats to whoever produced this video. (Cosmotopper777)
One of the best movies ever made. Today’s movies are pretty much trash.
Die Musik wow
Que preciosa película
Yo era un joven cuando se produjo esta película. Realmente el mundo estuvo al borde de la autodestrucción hasta 1964, cuando el asunto de los misiles soviéticos en Cuba.
Hoy dia, la juventud no se puede hacer cargo del ambiente inquietante que se vivía. En cualquier momento, un loco o un despistado podía pulsar el botón rojo y ¡¡Adiós!!.
Cinematográficamente, la película es impecable, la actuación de Gregory Peck y compañeros de reparto, maravillosa.
Confieso que, en algunas escenas, se me humedecen los ojos y el final es rotundamente magistral.
Obra maestra.
I was a young man when this film was produced. The world was really on the verge of self-destruction until 1964, when the Soviet missile affair in Cuba.
Today, young people can't handle the unsettling atmosphere that prevailed. At any moment, a madman or a clueless person could press the red button and goodbye!
Cinematographically, the film is impeccable, the performance of Gregory Peck and co-stars, wonderful.
I confess that, in some scenes, my eyes water and the ending is absolutely masterful.
A masterpiece.
Пвечатлил,актеры великолепно справились,Ава красавица!
tHE WORLD H8TES PUT!Ns WAR.
슬프도록 아름다운 영화!
They yanked the complete movie, I guess because it had no commercials. But just watching this part brings it all back.
Nice, thanks.
This film, along w/ Dr. Strangelove and a couple of US and USSR launch officers who over the years refused to follow launch orders, likely saved the world.
dpetrano Nonsense.
@@nstix2009xitsn How so? How old are you? Did you live through the nuclear madness days? I did, when we lived from day to day wondering whether some nutcase at the White House or Pentagon was going launch against those pesky "commies" to "preserve freedom." This film along w/ Dr Strangelove exposed how insane our leaders really were.
@@dpetrano Gimme a break! Real people did not "wonder" such things. Prima donnas claimed that, but that's like the prima donnas who would say, "I'm terrified of Donald Trump." (Like you, no doubt!) Dr Strangelove exposed nothing; it was a satire. It was also a propaganda movie which was part of the campaign to re-elect JFK.
@@nstix2009xitsn If you were born before 1960, you're clueless as to how insane things were those days w/ nuclear trigger-happy nutcases running the Pentagon + CIA, keeping us on the brink of total destruction every moment of every day. If you did not live through the Cuban Missile Crisis, you have zero business disagreeing w/ me.
@@dpetrano Addendum: As far as I could tell, the opening salvo of that campaign was the Oxford lecture, delivered in November 1963, by Columbia history professor, Richard Hofstadter, “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.”
Not many movies are about the extinction of mankind.
Humanity was never given a pass on extinction. Though we think we were. Just ask all the lifeforms that have gone extinct over the past hundreds of millions of years.
Great Flick
FUN FACT : Ava Gardner did not say ,,,"Melbourne was the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world",,, the author of the "quote" was in fact a writer for the Sydney Morning Herald, Neil Jillett, who recently admitted that the quote was fabricated. He was writing a piece about the filming at the time, and attributed the quote to Gardner out of spite for Melbourne getting some attention in the "spotlight", something Sydneysiders do not like.

Hey mate! Steve Royale has nailed it. (see below) I served with the Aussies in 'Nam and they are the best. Next shout's on me!
There appears to be no Steve Royale below anywhere! Or above for that matter! So what are you referring to please?
yep
They couldnt obtain a real nuke sub back in 1959
The newer version has one!
No winners in nuclear war...ever
Should be required viewing for all elected officials of all nations.. The ending should have been Peck promoting all his men, selecting a new Captain and retiring with Gardener to await the final days.. Leaving her alone ? Geez...
That's the tack the Australian remake took. I didn't like it.
Anyone who promotes the idiotic idea that the United States should upgrade our nuclear Arsenal should definitely see the movie "On the Beach". It is a movie requirement for all future generations.
Anthony Mireles Sr. Anyone who promotes the idiotic idea that watching a propaganda movie will change the world, has oatmeal for brains. You have no appreciation for a beautiful work of art.
The building up of nuclear devices is a Satanic plot to create fear across the world's populations so they will accept a global solution. Much like anything else that can be levelled at the global population to create fear and thus compliance and obedience to that global entity upon it's appearance.
