"Atomic Energy: A Force for Good"

This film was produced by the Christophers in 1955 to promote atomic energy. Although the Christophers were a lay Catholic society that had been established just a decade earlier, they had a remarkable budget and resources to make this film. Produced by Jack Denove, whose credits included TV's Cavalcade of America, the film was written by bestselling author Eugene Vale, directed by Robert Stevenson, and starred Paul Young as the skeptical rancher who learns to embrace the Atomic Energy Commission's plan to construct a nuclear facility for "producing fissionable materials" in his small western town.
