He was in a movie where he was a Dr. that developed an eye drop that gave him x-ray vision.

The first apocalypse movie I remember seeing was “On The Beach” (1959) with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. That was really a total apocalypse, the entire population of the Earth was exterminated by radioactive fallout from a nuclear war. No happy ending, just everyone waiting to die. Pretty scary stuff back then, still is. Funny, I do not remember it ever being shown on TCM, etc. Maybe too grim to be considered entertaining.

It's been on TCM several times over the years. That's where I saw it. I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know when it's on.

I read Alas Babylon as a kid...60 now and would like to read it again. Still remember reading the description of the greedy guy with all the hot (both stolen and radioactive) jewelry and watches that killed him and the guy that left the sub asking if they had any of those quick death pills for when the time came. Funny how the mind works...had not thought about that in years, yet when I saw the book title those two passages flashed back as clear as when I was about 14-16 years old.

Oh, and the power going out and how the main characters first act of filling it with food and ice cream was proven pointless. "How do you like your steaks, Graff?" he asked his dog. Weird I remember that now.
