Trailers From Hell : The Day The Earth Caught Fire

Global warming in 1961! Is it a newspaper picture, or a disaster picture, or a political picture, or...well, it's all of these and more.

Tossed off as an exploitation picture in the US, it's one of the great unsung science fiction pictures, and a must-see.
