The Rapture’s been pending for quite some time now, hasn’t it?
“There will be milk deliveries unmade. Transportation services will be greatly impaired by the absence of Christian motormen… House work will be left undone by Christian maids going to a higher realm.”
Yup, “The Rapture” was imminent even back in 1941, when this short film was made. The film’s vintage makes a belief in the Rapture in 2011 seem especially silly. Because it is.
Quite a bit of this film appears in Diane Keaton’s fab Heaven documentary.
