1950's B movie about result of nuclear war

Hi,

As a kid in the 1970's I remember a US film coming on TV that was about three survivors in an American city after a nuclear war or biological war. One was a woman, the other two a white man and a black man who took up residence in a US city. One of the male survivors was a miner, who survived by being underground but I can't remember much else about it at all, apart from it being very cheesy.
One of the bits that stick in my mind was that they threw the dishes out of the window of their high rise residence instead of washing them, much to the disgust of the woman who said the plates were expensive.
Does anyone out there know the name of the film or has seen it?
Thanks

This might be The World, The Flesh & The Devil with Harry Belafonte, Inger Stevens and Mel Ferrer.

Thanks Trevor,

YES! That's the film and thanks to you, something that has been bugging me for about 30 years or so has been put to rest. I will be buying the film if I can, no matter if it is good or bad.
Thanks again o wise one.
