Kaysee here ... I remember seeing this movie when it came out in the 70s and I've seen it many, many, many times since. Having both Paul Newman and Steve McQueen in the same movie was a bonus!! It still gets me, even today, when Jennifer Jones dies and Fred Astaire gets her cat at the end 😭

When I was a kid, I idolized Irwin Allen. I wanted to grow up to be just like him! He made my favorite movies and TV shows.

As close to WTR collapse that existed in 197; only other movie so riveting was "Earthquake".

Not sure if fire or flood would have been worse?
