Comments: One man survives a nuclear holocaust. He finds himself on a tropical island. There, he regrets the short time he had till he could retire in comfort from the U.S. Army to Florida. As time passes, he finds companions.

This is Robert Strauss' final film. It had only a limited viewing and was not released until recently. This post-apocalyptic film is good because it delves so deeply into a single character as he tries to accept a life of solitude. Also, the film ponders American ideals. The use of Holst's The Planets, specifically Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; is awesome, and appropriate, to hear. Cast Away drew from this film. Watching this obscure film is worth it, though it is slow moving.
