Looking for title of old WW2 type movie with sub and radiation
Lookin for this WW2ish? black and white? movie about the end of the world... a bunch of survivors are living it up as radiation covers the planet slowly, at the end of the movie even the safe island begins to become radiactive so a bunch get on a submarine to look for safe place to land, i remember one scene they get a radio signal from like san fransico and someone jumps off the ship and swims ashore rather dying on land and happy home then later on the sub.
anyone?

Day of the Trifids comes to mind. It was plants mutated and people blinded by VanAllen belt radiation. The only people that weren't blinded were the crew of a sub because they were under water during the event. Come to think of it, it wasn't in black and white.

It is called "On The Beach"
On the Beach (1959)
advertisement In 1964, nuclear war wipes out humanity in the northern hemisphere; one American submarine finds temporary safe haven in Australia, where life-as-usual covers growing despair. In denial about the loss of his wife and children in the holocaust, American Captain Towers meets careworn but gorgeous Moira Davidson, who begins to fall for him. The sub returns after reconnaissance a month (or less) before the end; will Towers and Moira find comfort with each other? Written by Rod Crawford {puffinus@u.washington.edu}
A US submarine is on patrol when the Northern Hemisphere is destroyed by nuclear war. They land in Melbourne, Australia where they live with the rest of the city which has less than 12 months to live. They travel back to the west cost of the US and witness the holocaust. Written by Anonymous
Someone, somewhere, pressed the button and started World War III. Australia has survived - temporarily. The radiation is on it's way, the end inevitable. This is the story of the way in which people faced the coming end, focusing mainly on a young Australian couple and their friends, including the captain of an American submarine that was on patrol in the Pacific when the bombs were falling. And then the Australians detect a morse signal coming from somewhere around San Diego... Written by Sonya Roberts {sonya_roberts@geocities.com}Last edited by davidz28guy; 05-09-2007 at 10:27 AM.

davidz28guy's summary is accurate, but just to make it clear:
no, it is not a world war II movie. it was made as a reaction to the cold war in the 1950s, based on the novel by nevil shute. starring big names like Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson, John Tate. directed by Stanley Kramer, it was very controversial in it's days.
