I saw this movie in San Diego either in December 1959 or early 1960. I was a Marine going to electronics school at MCRD. That movie had a profound effect on me as a Marine and a human being. I understand that Nikita Khrushchev, the head of the Soviet Union at that time was affected the same way I was when he viewed the film. I would still rank the film as one of the top 10 films that had a real and personal effect on my entire life. Everyone should think about the fact that we as human beings have the power to totally destroy all life on this beautiful blue marble on which we all live. This film had and still has a powerful effect on my thinking.
