"Do you have the guts?"
Oh man, check out Our Cities Must Fight!, a US Civil Defence film from 1951 - apparently before they knew about fallout. If you get bored, fast-forward to the splendidly grim and pessimistic ending.
It's kind of interesting that the message to the public, both before fallout was understood and afterwards, both before intercontinental missiles and afterwards, was not to evacuate. Tens of millions of people are, effectively, an immobile target.
ETA: Bwa!!!! Tragedy or Hope? Damn Communist radical hippies!!! With their long hair and weird clothes and the funny way they speak - oh wait. You have to see this to believe it. Bonus appearance by Captain Jack. Begorrah.
