Considering how old it is, yes. Captures the desperation and impending doom really well. Fred Astaire plays the scientist and it was his first dramatic role. He nails the part. The only miss-step is they cast an older Eva Garner in the lead role. Once you get past that she's great acting opposite Gregory Peck.

Check it out and let me know what you think. The ending scene will give you goosebumps.
