five (1951)

"Not even a mouse."
Five people survive a nuclear holocaust, including Roseanne, a pregnant woman; Michael, a poet; Charles, a black man; Oliver, a banker; and Eric, a mountain climber, but soon they begin to get on each other's nerves...
Slow moving contemplation on 'hell is other people'.

the twonky (1953)

"A twonky is something that you do not know what it is."
Carolyn West (Janet Warren) has to visit her sister, and gets a new TV set installed to keep her husband, college professor Kerry (Hans Conried), company whilst she is away. He immediately notices that the set is alive (well he is a college professor)! Especially when is proves intent on regulating his daily life.
A cautionary tale about how television can (and was) taking over people's lives, in the form of an interesting and quirky comedy.
