Eighties bad hair, terrible clothes... yes.Eighties Tangerine Dream electronic soundtrack... yes.Eighties glossy MTV style filming... yes. But... Movies like this don't get made very often... if at all these days.It's a classic 'What if? ' scenario 'feel bad' movie. What starts off as a friendly enough run of the mill cheesy eighties romance with Jazz musician Harry meeting his 'perfect girl', turns on you when he arrives late for their first date and intercepts a phone call from a military installation informing him that "we are locked in" and that in less than an hour, nuclear war will reduce the civilised world to ashes.
