    It was English, 1950's, about a nuclear scientist that steals an H-Bomb and hides it in London, demanding everyone disarm or he will detonate it.
    The scenes of the empty streets of London after evacuation is the only thing I really remember about it. very tense and well acted.

    YES!
    Thank you, I watched it years ago and remember it being riveting, no wonder it got an Academy Award for best story.
    Too bad it's not on Youtube anymore.
