ATOMIC CAFE

Original British 20 inch x 30 inch Double Crown Poster for the 1982 Jayne Loader, Kevin Rafferty & Pierce Rafferty Documentary THE ATOMIC CAFE featuring Hugh Beaumont, Paul Tibbets, Harry S. Truman, W.H.P. Blandy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Brian McMahon.

This darkly humorous documentary consists of archival footage about nuclear warfare. Drawing largely on government propaganda and training films for American soldiers, the movie, presented in collage form, features clips from early in the Cold War era that are filled with alarming misinformation. Some segments address the alleged safety of nuclear radiation, “duck and cover” drills and other related topics, including instructions for living in a fallout shelter.

The poster is in fine unfolded (rolled) condition.
