Hey,
There were at least two atomic fear movies released in 1951 and both are oddities worth seeing. The first is Arch Oboler's Five (that features a black actor) that is probably the first post-atomic war film and takes place in the director's house designed
by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The other is Unknown World that I had never heard of and bumped into it on tubitv. The story is of a handful of scientists -- one of whom identifies as a feminist -- who believe it maybe possible to live below the Earth's crust. They are denied funding
for this Hollow Earth theory but a thrill-seeking millionaire will fund it if he can go along.
What follows is an interest romp filled with silly science and hopes of a better future. Nice ride through a 1950's sensibility.
