As hitchcockian thrillers go, this one is very well done and enjoyable. Almost as good as Mute witness.
I saw this movie as a child and it left a big impression on me (must have been Isabelle Hupert naked in the bedroom window).
If good thrillers a la Hitchcock is your cup of tea then this one will sate your thirst.

”The Day After,” ABC’s much-discussed vision of nuclear Armageddon, is no longer only a television film, of course; it has become an event, a rally and a controversy, much of it orchestrated. Part of the controversy has to do with whether ”The Day After” makes a political statement, which it does, although the statement is muddy, and part of the controversy has to do with how we confront the nuclear abyss. Champions of the film say it forces us to think intelligently about the arms race; detractors say it preaches appeasement. In fact, both sides have something going for them in their arguments, even if the champions of the film, for the moment, are being heard more clearly than the detractors. ”The Day After” will be seen on ABC at 8 o’clock tonight.Read More »
