	Movies - It's Great to Be Alive

It's Great to Be Alive (1933) was a low-budget science-fiction musical comedy, the remake of The Last Man on Earth (1924 film)
, which later influenced the novel Mr. Adam.

A young aviator name Carlos Martin (played by Raul Roulien) is dumped by his girlfriend, and heads on a solo flight across the Pacific. He has engine trouble and makes an emergency landing on an uninhabited island out in the Pacific. Shortly afterward, a global epidemic of masculitis kills every fertile male human on the planet. When efforts to cure the disease fail, the human race is doomed. Humanity's institutions are all run by women, including the Chicago underworld. Carlos escapes the island, and once he returns home and hears the news, it now depends on him to continue the human race.

Some scenes in this film include a scene, depicting look-a-likes of the two top scientists of the era, Albert Einstein, and Auguste Piccard trying to find a cure for masculitis, as well as a burlesque show dubbed "Girls of all Nations."
