Bikini Island Atoll, a south seas romantic paradise, being sacrificed for A-bomb research. Welles dreams the blast will create a tidal wave to destroy all national boundaries and mapmaker’s pencils. But the silly old notion of nations will not go away because of the public’s idiot resignation in the face of war and the bomb. The name of Rita Hayworth’s character Gilda is written on the bomb.
