An Early Time, Presented by Physicist Edward Teller
Manhattan Project veteran Edward Teller tells the story of World War II and the Manhattan Project from his perspective.
When this film was made, Edward Teller remained quite unpopular in Los Alamos due to his testimony against J. Robert Oppenheimer in 1954... among other things. Despite this, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory invited Teller to make this film. I don't know what the backstory of the film is, but I'm under the impression the Laboratory's Director at the time, Harold Agnew, hoped to rehabilitate Teller's reputation to some extent. Whatever the case may be, an Early Time is an interesting film hosted by a fascinating - and polarizing - scientist.
I apologize for the rather poor video quality - I hope to acquire a better scan in the future.
