"Day the World Ended" is a 1955 sci-fi in black and white. After major cities have been destroyed in a global nuclear war, a few escape and meet up in a house that acts as shelter. The owner of the house lives there with his daughter and they often scan everything for radiation. Just the two of them have only enough provisions to feed three people but many more come to stay.
Directed by Roger Corman and written by Lou Rusoff. The stars includes Richard Denning, Lori Nelson, Adele Jergens and Paul Birch. The production companies are Golden State Productions and Selma Enterprises.
The house is isolated and protected by hills rich in lead. There is very little food left and not much drinkable water either. The film is 1 hour and 20 minutes long roughly. The characters are Jim a former sea captain and Louise his compassionate daughter, Rick the handsome geologist, Tony a villainous gangster and Ruby his tough girlfriend, Pete a gentle old farmer and Radek a poorly nuclear survivor. While they struggle to get through existing, something creepy lurks outside leaving bones.
Any issues with the film? No.
My rating is 9/10. Read my spoiler below if you dare.

SPOILER: Ruby is statuesque and is able to wear the same clothes borrowed from the smaller woman Louise. Incredible really.
