I thought of "On the Beach" when I was in Melbourne's city centre during the first lockdown. The empty, desolate streets reminded me of the last moments of the movie after everyone who lined up outside the old Queen Victoria Hospital (now demolished) in Lonsdale Street to get their suicide pills had gone home to die. No dance number from Fred Astaire in that movie.
