On The Beach (1959) - opening scene - Waltzing Matilda HQ
On the Beach is a post-apocalyptic, end-of-the-world novel written by British-Australian author Nevil Shute after he emigrated to Australia. It was published in 1957.
The novel was adapted for the screenplay of a 1959 film featuring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Anthony Perkins, and Fred Astaire, and a 2000 television film starring Bryan Brown, Armand Assante and Rachel Ward. The submarine used in the 1959 movie - H.M.S. Andrew representing the American nuclear submarine U.S.S. Sawfish, was in actual fact a WW2 designed/vintage diesel/electric powered British submarine - the Amphion class submarine (also known as the "A" class and Acheron class) was launched on April 6 in 1946. By the time of the movie, this submarine had been greatly modified from its original appearance - especially in respects to its conning tower which was made considerably larger. The producer/director Stanley Kramer was forced to use this stand-in submarine when the U.S. Navy refused to participate in the making of the film due to its controversial nuclear apocalyptic storyline. This 1959 movie has has one of the best instrumental versions of Waltzing Matilda composed in its impressive opening credits scene.
