The World, the Flesh and the Devil

A film that perhaps hoped to make a point. After a mining accident, Ralph Burton emerges to find civilization destroyed by nuclear war. He and another survivor begin to build a life in an empty New York, until a third shows up to complicate matters of race and romance. It probably meant well.
