Weren't those GREAT movies back then in the day as they just don't have the same feel anymore even with all the high tech today. I was watching ''Midway'' the other day with Charleton Heston and again just some great acting as you actually thought they were fighting the Japanese.

I did a search for The Day After and found this thread. I have a question about the movie.
I saw the movie when it originally aired on ABC in 1983. I got a copy of the movie on VHS that was released by Embassy Home Entertainment in 1984.
Since the quarantine, I've been watching a bunch of my old VHS movies to check their condition and see if I want to keep them or get rid of them. I rewatched The Day After (I've watched the VHS tape several times over the decades) and I swear that one of the closing scenes is different.
When I watched it on TV in 1983, I remember (perhaps incorrectly) that the scene with Stephen/Steve Guttenberg talking to Denise/Lori Lethin one last time was more sad and gruesome than what was on the VHS. I remember that Denise was hemorrhaging badly and her lower torso was covered in blood, but Steve told her she was beautiful and that had he known her earlier, he would have given her fiance' some competition for her. Yet what is on the VHS is that he simply tells her that he is losing his hair, too, and there is very little blood. Was the VHS toned down for release?
