Oppenheimer at UCLA (1964)

Given all the buzz about the upcoming Oppenheimer movie, you might be interested in a talk he gave at UCLA in 1964. We had posted about the 1964 talk back in Feb. 2022, when the new movie was being filmed at UCLA:

As we have in the past, we recommend the 7-part 1980 BBC series on Oppenheimer which can be seen at the links below:

Although the BBC series was produced well before the 2005 book - American Prometheus - on which the new movie is based, it basically accords with the account in the book.
