  • 원작: One World Or None

One World or None (1946) is an instructional documentary short film produced by the National Committee on Atomic Information in conjunction with Philip Ragan Productions. Made just months after the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is considered the first postwar "atomic scare" film.

Production

Ashley Montagu suggested making the film during a meeting of the Federation of American Scientists in 1945, and the idea was well-received. After writing the script and undergoing several revisions, the team sought the approval and advice of Albert Einstein.

When Montagu visited Einstein in June 1946, Einstein reviewed the script and responded positively, calling the title One World or None an excellent choice and declaring the script "just right" without suggesting any changes.

Einstein strongly supported the idea of using the film as a means of educating the public about the control of atomic energy. He saw the film as a step toward raising awareness of the need for international control over nuclear energy and believed that it required additional support and an extended educational campaign. The film was released in October 1946.

Technical assistance on One World or None was provided by the Federation of Atomic Scientists. Philip Ragan Productions was responsible for One World or None, using a mix of animation and live-action stock footage, including scenes from Hiroshima and the Nuremberg War Trials. Philip Ragan was a filmmaker from Philadelphia who specialized in cartoon animation.

Another connection to the NFB was composer Louis Applebaum, who composed approximately 250 film scores for the NFB between 1942 and 1960. He is also known for his work in Hollywood on Story of G.I. Joe (1945), Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947) and Lost Boundaries (1949).
