On               The               Beach               830               tons               of               plutonium               and               uranium               contamination               from               atomic               weapons               tests               were               buried               beneath               Monte               Bello               Island               off               the               coast               of               western               Australia               in               the               1950s.

Stashed               along               with               it               was               knowledge               that               this               harmful               substance               could               resurface               and               poison               the               native               Aborigines,               plant               and               animal               life.

Today,               due               to               common               knowledge               of               within               the               nuclear               community,               anyone               with               Internet               access               or               a               library               card               can               read               about               it.

Otherwise               it               could               be               found               deep               within               the               allegorical               context               of               Nevil               Shute's               novel               On               The               Beach.
               In               Stanley               Kramer's               production               of               the               film               adaptation               this               allegory               comes               alive               in               the               beautiful               black               and               white               work               of               D.L               Fapp               and               G.

Rotunno               and               an               A-list               cast.

The               facets               of               the               allegory               reflect               a               political               history               from               the               Atomic               Age               as               well               as               the               mechanistic               wedge               technology               drives               between               the               relationships               of               men               and               women.
               Before               analyzing               the               film               adaptation,               it               should               be               mentioned               that               Shute's               novel               is               of               classic               status               upon               which               the               frustrations               of               a               scientist               and               gifted               author               rest.

His               speculative               science               fiction               story               is               a               dystopian               world               of               atomic               radiation               fallout,               which               could               be               closer               to               a               reality               uncomfortable               for               most               to               recognize.

The               surviving               inhabitants               of               earth               seek               refugee               on               Australia               as               civilization's               drama               unfolds               its               last               act.

It               is               mentioned               in               the               Nevil               Shute               Archives               On               Line               that               the               author               was               not               fully               satisfied               with               John               Paxton's               screenplay               as               some               of               the               themes               were               misinterpreted.

Though               Shute's               central               message               still               survives               in               the               film               as               a               distress               signal               to               the               world               about               atomic               weapons.
               The               actual               distress               signal               from               the               story               is               a               key               point               in               the               origin               of               blame               and               the               story's               pointed               finger               as               a               critic               of               atomic               weapons               testing.

It               is               important               not               in               who               is               sending               the               distress               signal,               but               where               it               is               coming               from.

The               last               American               survivors,               with               the               help               of               Australian               naval               officers               and               British               scientists               board               the               submarine               Sawfish               to               seek               out               this               phantom               distress               signal.

The               signal               coming               by               way               of               telegraph               is               indecipherable               as               Morse               code,               yet               it               could               be               the               only               glimmer               of               hope               on               a               planet               scorched               by               nuclear               war.
               They               trace               the               signal               to               an               abandon               power               plant               in               the               Northwestern               United               States               only               to               find               it               was               a               coke               bottle               stuck               on               a               window               shade               tapping               the               transmitter               as               the               wind               blew.

Here               we               see               why               it               is               not               important               as               to               who               is               sending               the               signal,               but               where               it               is               coming               from.

This               is               not               to               say               that               in               the               story               the               United               States               is               to               blame               for               nuclear               war,               it               is               quite               ambivalent               as               to               who               dropped               the               bomb.

In               fact               the               question               of               who               started               the               war               is               a               philosophical               uncertainty               the               characters               are               faced               with.

In               historical               context               the               story               is               using               the               U.S.

as               an               example               as               to               the               dangers               of               Atomic               weapons               testing               and               with               the               incident               of               Hiroshima,               the               location               of               the               distress               signal               has               an               added               relevance.
               Further               more               the               signal               is               coming               from               an               abandoned               Power               Planet               that               is               captured               on               screen               as               a               baron               industrial               wasteland.

The               bright               sun               lit               architecture,               as               if               scorched,               takes               on               an               eerie               glow               from               the               metallic               pipes               and               steel               buildings.

This               wasteland               is               in               working               order               as               the               power               is               still               running               while               human               life               is               annihilated               and               encapsulates               a               recurring               theme               of               the               machine               that               lives               on               after               human               life.
               The               U.S.

is               not               the               cause               of               the               Atomic               apocalypse               in               as               much               as               humankind               itself               is               its               own               worst               enemy               in               the               story.

As               Great               Britain,               The               U.S.

and               Australia               are               all               in               the               same               boat               quite               literally,               the               Sawfish,               if               anyone               is               pointing               fingers.

The               technological               progress               of               atomic               and               industrial               power               that               gets               associated               to               the               U.S.

and               other               powerful               nations               is               blamed.

This               fixation               of               power               is               more               specifically               man's               obsession               with               racing               towards               technological               progress               wherein               haphazard               side               effects               are               his               undoing.
               Headlining               the               cast               is               the               Character               of               Dwight               Towers               (Gregory               Peck),               commander               of               the               submarine               U.S.S.

On               the               surface               Towers               is               the               idealized               American               soldier;               loyal               to               his               country,               crew               and               to               moral               judgment.

His               façade               of               order               and               reliability,               though               never               completely               unraveled,               is               a               testament               to               all               that               man               risks               losing               in               self-absorbed               fulfillment               of               technological               ambition.

As               the               figurehead               American               in               the               story               he               represents               the               military               machine               still               functioning               even               after               disaster               just               as               the               Power               Plant               (transmitting               the               distress               signal)               still               operates.

Deemed               as               a               turning               point               in               Astaire's               career               towards               drama,               he               achieves               a               duality               encompassed               in               the               role               as               the               film's               apathetic               scientist               and               as               voice               of               reason.

As               the               British               scientist               assigned               to               the               Sawfish               to               check               radiation               levels,               he               harbors               a               grudge               of               regret               for               being               one               of               the               scientists               who               helped               build               the               bombs.
               He               still               represents               a               character               that               enables               the               machine               to               run               even               after               his               death               as               we               see               in               his               suicide               scene,               inhaling               the               exhaust               of               his               Ferrari.

The               same               Ferrari               that               we               see               Julian               win               a               senseless               car               race               with               as               the               shot               isolates               him               alone               crossing               the               finish               line,               all               other               cars               crashed               and               burned               beside               the               track.

Another               key               shot               of               Julian               is               on               the               submarine               Sawfish               that               composes               him               alone               in               the               corner               of               the               frame               after               admitting               envy               of               another               for               having               loved               ones               to               worry               about.

That               his               character               is               a               British               scientist               has               great               significance               to               this               portrait               of               an               isolated               man               who               lives               for               his               machine               as               demonstrated               in               the               allegory.
               Most               of               all               through               Moira,               Julian               epitomizes               what               Towers               tries               to               escape               as               a               man.

Only               in               attempt               does               Towers               try               to               overcome               the               technological               obsessions               as               seen               through               Julian,               but               there               is               no               happy               ending               to               this               dystopia.

Tower's               dreams               and               victories,               such               as               winning               the               sailboat               race               and               trout               fishing               are               constantly               foiled               by               Moira,               but               in               a               playful               nature               so               that               the               role               of               a               woman               in               a               man's               life               becomes               an               important               message               of               redemption               from               technocracy.
               There               is               also               Lt.

Peter               Holmes               (Anthony               Perkins)               and               his               wife               Mary               (Donna               Andrews)               whose               naïve               young               marriage               is               the               common               eyes               from               which               to               view               this               disaster.

In               essence               they               are               the               public               blinded               to               reality               while               trying               to               maintain               a               status               quo               and               refuse               to               acknowledge               their               inevitable               doom.

Their               relationship               to               the               situation               is               established               early               on               in               the               scene               that               introduces               them.

Peter               is               gazing               off               confusedly               at               a               calendar,               time               weighing               down               his               thoughts               wondering               when               the               radiation               clouds               will               arrive.

Here               Peter               is               conflicted               between               being               a               soldier,               wanting               to               protect               his               family               and               also               being               just               as               confused               and               terrified               as               the               rest.
               Along               with               the               Admiral               Bridie               (John               Tate)               and               his               secretary               Hosgood               (Lola               Brooks),               these               aforementioned               characters               weave               a               pattern               of               male               to               female               relationships               in               the               Science               Fiction/Disaster               genre               as               archetypes               of               the               common               and               iconic.

               Many               of               these               relationships               are               visually               accompanied               by               Dutch               Angle               Shots.

One               is               used               to               frame               Dwight               and               Moira               as               they               come               to               terms               with               reality               after               an               evening               party.

This               connects               thematically               to               another               Dutch               Angle               shot               later               in               the               film               of               Dwight               on               a               lifeboat               with               his               crew               as               they               decide               whether               to               stay               await               Australia's               contamination               or               return               to               die               in               the               U.S.

The               D.A.S               between               Dwight               and               Julian               after               the               cloud               reaches               Australia               puts               man               in               conflict               with               himself               as               they               stand               over               a               radiation               detection               device,               their               own               sickness               not               enough               to               warn               them.

The               last               D.A.S.

frames               Bridie               and               Hosgood               as               a               conflict               of               man's               neglect               of               a               woman's               love               as               they               toast               a               glass               of               sherry               to               a               "blind,               blind               world."
               This               aspect               of               the               story's               human               relationships               personalizes               the               political               allegory               of               the               film.

Though               in               historical               context               gender               conflicts               may               not               have               a               recorded               or               official               role,               but               considering               underlying               messages               of               the               film               the               gender               role               is               integral               to               man's               relationship               to               the               machine.
               As               mentioned,               plutonium               and               uranium               contamination               from               weapons               testing               was               buried               off               the               coast               of               Australia.

This               took               place               during               a               series               of               12               atomic               tests               done               by               British               scientists               between               1952               and               1956.

Nevil               Shute's               novel               was               published               in               1957               and               the               film               was               released               in               1959.

This               series               of               events               have               obvious               parallels               of               influence,               especially               in               Shute's               role               in               the               scientific               community               and               lay               the               groundwork               for               the               allegory.
               For               one,               British               scientists               conducted               the               experiments               and               are               paralleled               to               the               character               of               Julian               Osborne,               the               British               scientist               in               the               story.

Further               more,               much               critical               analysis               of               the               novel               claim               Osborne               to               be               an               alter               ego               of               Nevil               Shute,               an               engineer               himself.

It               is               also               reported               that               the               CSIRO               (Commonwealth               Scientific               and               Industrial               Research               Organization)               attempted               to               supervise               much               of               the               atomic               tests               as               far               as               safety.

The               same               "CSIR"               mentioned               in               the               story               as               the               organization               that               has               assigned               the               character               Julian               Osborne               to               the               submarine               Sawfish.

It               is               interesting               to               note               that               in               the               novel               the               Osborne               character's               first               name               is               John,               and               was               changed               to               Julian               in               the               screenplay.

This               is               perhaps               another               historical               connection               to               the               spy               Julius               Rosenberg               who               was               executed               for               sharing               American               atomic               secrets               in               the               famous               Rosenberg               Trials.
               Though               a               name               may               not               be               a               direct               correlation               it               leads               to               another               layer               of               the               allegory               in               that               historically,               though               Britain               and               the               U.S.

were               World               War               II               allies,               they               did               not               share               atomic               secrets               (Cavendish).

In               was               in               essence               a               race               between               all               nations               as               to               who               could               develop               the               bomb               first.

This               atomic               race               is               metaphorically               prevalent               in               Dwight               Towers               sailboat               race               and               in               Julian               Osborne's               car               race               as               they               both               speed               off               into               atomic               destruction.

Though               these               men,               symbolic               of               their               nations               of               origin,               are               indeed               working               together               to               save               humankind,               they               still               take               time               out               to               feed               their               egos               with               a               race.
               Historically               Britain's               reason               for               atomic               testing               in               Australia               was               to               avoid               complete               dependence               on               the               U.S.

for               atomic               power               and               here               is               where               Australia's               position               is               represented               in               the               story.

During               World               War               II               Australia               was               a               refuge               for               Allied               forces               as               a               base               in               the               Pacific               and               also               during               the               Korean               War               for               the               United               Nations.

They               have               continued               to               be               an               important               geographically               in               military               strategy,               but               never               a               nation               of               power               itself.

We               see               this               paralleled               in               Lt.

Holmes'               character,               who               of               British               origin,               non               native               planted               in               Australia,               stands               dependent               on               Julian               the               British               scientist               and               Towers               the               American               commander.
               The               information               about               the               British               Atomic               Tests               was               kept               quiet               and               underwent               internal               conflict               in               regard               to               safety               measures.

These               reports               are               explored               in               detail               now               thanks               to               a               local               Australian               paper,               Adelaide               News',               article               appearing               twenty               years               after               their               first               report               of               the               tests               (Varney).

Apparently               the               harmful               effects               of               the               test               were               common               knowledge               within               the               atomic               community               and               caused               critics               of               Atomic               testing               much               anguish               in               getting               these               concerns               publicized.

The               tests               caused               widespread               radioactive               fallout               with               measured               levels               of               900               times               background               radiation.

This               entire               conflict               was               captured               in               one               moment               of               a               scene               in               the               film               where               Julian               has               an               outburst               at               a               party               about               the               doomed               fate               of               the               world               and               cites               this               same               radiation               statistic.
               Another               direct               connection               the               city               of               Adelaide               has               with               a               scene               from               the               film               has               to               do               with               livestock               affected               by               the               radiation.

Several               of               the               cattle               were               tested               and               iodine-131               levels,               a               product               of               radiation,               were               found               in               their               thyroid               glands.

This               particular               instance               is               given               a               moment               in               the               film               as               Julian               speeds               through               Moira's               farm               in               his               Ferrari.

As               the               roaring               engine               approaches               the               cattle               in               the               foreground,               the               rancher               contests               with               Julian               to               not               scare               all               the               animals.

Moira               comes               into               frame               with               Towers               from               screen               right               and               confirms               this               same               statement               as               Julian               becomes               quite               defensive.

Here               also               is               Julian's               racecar               embodying               man's               relationship               with               machine               as               winning               a               race               to               his               own               destruction.
               There               is               also               the               issue               of               information               being               withheld               and               buried               from               public               awareness.

This               is               visualized               in               subtle               ways               through               the               film               in               scenes               where               imagery               analogizes               information               rising               to               the               surface.

As               in               the               submarine               rising               to               the               surface               for               information,               the               distress               signal               scout               ascending               ladders               and               stairs               for               information,               and               a               scene               of               Dwight               of               Holmes               moving               up               out               of               the               darkness               on               an               elevator               discussing               a               lack               of               information.
               If               deeply               interpreted,               these               connections               can               be               said               to               be               the               story's               distress               signal               about               Atomic               weapons,               but               also               political               allegory               of               Britain               and               the               United               States'               land               use               in               Australia.
