One of my loves is the big early 60s US cruiser with massive Talos launchers.
I was delighted when watching this old British comedy film to see it had scenes on the USN 6th Fleet flagship in 1962 at Villefranche.

So what unlikely TV or Film do...
A little bit of fun for these Winter nights, and I dont think we have done it in this form.
My favourite film is The Italian Job original version from the 60s
My favourite TV show is Top Cat (US original cartoon series from the 60s)

I was watching a generally cheesy movie with my girlfriend called "how I live now" earlier today. It's a love story set in modern Britain following a nuclear attack. I noticed someone involved in the production must be a bit of a nuclear film buff, with some allusions to some famous tropes...
