Sci-Fi Classic Review: THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE (1961)

This prototypical climate apocalypse movie marks an interesting middle ground between the nuclear panic of the fifties and the eco-fiction dystopias of the seventies.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I like this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.
