I remember how shocked I was the first time I saw this as a kid. The ending is still fun upon repeat viewings. One thing I had forgotten is how great Burgess Meredith is in this. He is funny and sad at the same time. I love the part where he is in the vault and the nuke goes off. The way the shock wave causes the book to flip open and watch to shatter is very cool.

The fate of Henry Bemis is certainly undeserved and one of the cruelest I can think of.
