Anyone seen the Playhouse 90 treatment of 'Alas, Babylon'?

I only remember that it was scary and two details (which may not be accurate): an adult male character saying “Alas, Babylon” when he saw the flash, and a girl being (temporarily?) blinded from the flash with bandages over her eyes.

The New York Times review:

But it is impossible to comprehend what good purpose could be served by many of the vivid moments of terror and hysteria depicted during the program. A small child runs back into her home after the explosion, screaming, “I’m blind. I’m blind.”

There are an awful lot of people who think that way right at this very minute. I assume they think they will be spared the coming Cataclysm, but then again, maybe not.

Naturally, everyone envisions themselves as the last person on Earth. Post-apocalyptic fiction would never sell, otherwise.

…Hey!..What was that blinding flash!?
