Review – Fail Safe (2000)

The 1964 Cold War classic gets a retro revamp more than a decade after the demise of the Soviet Union. Recorded in black and white and performed live for broadcast, this production was designed to mimic the look and feel of televised dramas from the 50s and 60s. They even got Walter Cronkite to narrate. The result works reasonably well, thanks in no small part to a cast of familiar faces. Worth seeing
