A mine inspector survives an apocalypse only to return to a deserted New York. He eventually meets a terrified young woman uncertain if her loneliness is driving her crazy. I saw this movie on TV as a child and the nuisances escaped me.
The relationship between the two survivors is slow moving but it sheds light on the race and sexual politics of 1959.
A third male survivor enters and the question becomes, will they cling to the past move forward.
There are no space aliens or monsters. The horror is the fear and loneliness of living in the husk of the the most lively cities of the world. I'm a 65 year old widower and these themes are important today as they were then.
