THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL (1959) : 43 years before "28 Days Later" director Ranald MacDougall showed us stunning imagery of the abandoned metropolis in this post-apocalyptic allegory. Harry Belafonte (in his screen debut!) plays Ralph Burton, who may be the last man on earth after a mysterious nuclear catastrophe.Then a woman (Inger Stevens) appears and the two form a cautious friendship that's threatened when a third survivor (Mel Ferrer) arrives. There are no external monsters to battle in this urban apocalypse landscape. Instead, the monsters -- fear, intolerance, jealousy -- lurk within the human heart. Loaded with stunning and unforgettable vistas of an unpopulated New York. Now available in a new, remastered edition courtesy of The Warner Archive Collection. http://www.wbshop.com/World-The-Flesh... Category:
