1952 ... "Operation Ivy" - long version


... for all of us hard-cores; here's the long version of the film briefing about the world's first H-bomb test. Love the narrator guy with his pipe that won't stay lit. Can't help but think that most of the last-minute interview's, and even the final countdown scene at the ship's rail, are earlier set-ups. Can't really imagine the film crew barging in to ask stupid questions just minutes before they light the fuse on the first H-bomb!

Reed Hadley as our narrator. Last film appearance in "The Oozing Skull" (aka "Brain of Blood, "The Creature's Revenge," or "The Undying Brain), given the Cinematic Titanic (MST3K veterans) treatment.
