When the family is in the car at the beginning of the film and suspect something is happening, they cannot pick up any "CONELRAD" stations on the car's radio. CONELRAD (COntrol of ELectromagnetic RAdiation), established in 1951, was the first nationwide system for emergency broadcasts in the United States. All radios made between 1953 and 1963 were required to have marks on the AM dial at 640 and 1240 MHz where citizens were expected to tune to obtain civil defense information. CONELRAD was succeeded by the Emergency Broadcast System in 1963 (which did not use dedicated frequencies) and it, in turn, was replaced by the Emergency Alert System in 1997.
Re-released in 1965 as "The End of the World" but only appeared as such in a few theaters, mostly in the Los Angeles area (Source: The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures). Was released under the original title thereafter.
This film inspired the Steely Dan song 'King of the World' on their second album 'Countdown to Ecstacy.' Donald Fagen of the band referred to this in an interview.
Filmed in two weeks.
"Harry Baldwin: You get in the trailer with your mother and Karen. Rick Baldwin: What for? Harry Baldwin: It's going to get rough from here on - I may need some cover. If I stop the car, grab a shotgun. Don't get trigger happy, but don't be gun shy either. If you have to use it - use it."
"Ann Baldwin: I know I should be grateful we're still alive, but... I love you, Harry, but not more than a future without hope. I've got to have hope to go on. I've got to know there are other people like us, like our children. People who are better than just animals!"
