   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.
