I lived thru this and this film very accurately captures the paranoia of 1962. As a small child, I went thru the type of school drills shown (as well as drill at home). Too young to understand why, but old enough to understand the paranoia and fear. Movie could cause semi-ptsd from the era. I saw it as a 20-something year old and was totally amazed at the accuracy of actions/feeling. It shows schools walking students home (which we did in So Calif during that time period) and it shows just the general PARANOIA that permeated lives at the time. My folks saved rolled up newspapers with the intent of lining the hall if needed. We were to hide in the hallway, "Protected from nuclear fallout" by the rolls of newspaper. We had food etc. saved up. My folks were scared. We were scared.
