I watched this on HBO Max today, and it was great, but I wouldn't wanna be trapped on that ship, because I'm in a wheelchair, and there is no way someone like me would look for the way out of there.
She was a really good woman. She has a feeling she wasnt gonna make but she tried her best. Wasn't she captain of the swim team back in HS or something?
@@elephantintheroom5678 I'm sorry. Death is sad but beautiful too as we are all going that way. Appreciate life and good people cause they are hard to find 🙏
The author of the book wrote it because he basically experienced this in real life. He was aboard the Queen Mary and one night, the ship was struck by a huge wave. It didn't cause the ship to capsize, but it did cause a lot of things to slide upon impact. The author wondered what would have happened if they did end up capsize. The ship in this movie is modeled after the Queen Mary. Basically the story was to tell us how the author would have survived in the situation.
THIS movie, with an entire set, that turns upside-down, extensive pyrotechnics and massive controlled water deluges, lost out, for an academy award, for best effects, to a head spinning doll and projectile pea soup. Yet, in the advance of years, which holds up, still?? The team for FX, got robbed.
Actually, they did win. That year, there wasn't a specific award for special effects, but the Academy was so impressed (as well they should have been) with what L. B. Abbott and A. D. Flowers did with the special effects in this movie, that they gave them a special award.
@@Marcel_Audubon Oh c'mon... It looked like cheap effects then, and looks even worse, today. "Oh...the bed levitates!" "Ooooo.... the dresser drawers open and shut, by themselves " And how many magicians, used the body levitation trick?? Geeze.....yeah, great FX.

The Poseidon Adventure was a great cruise and new year's disaster flim that would be great to watch a movie on New Year's Eve and Especially New Year's Day same as 2006 Remake Poseidon. The Poseidon Adventure is my number 1 best movie of the year 1972.
I saw this movie for the 1st time a couple of yrs ago and I couldn't believe how good the special effects & acting was...the Whole cast was Brilliant...a movie wayyy ahead of it's time...how did it do when it came out?...
R.I.P. Stella Stevens (1938-2023). Now Gene Hackman is the last surviving adult cast member of the movie at 93. Pamela Sue Martin and Eric Shea who played the kids are still living too.
Correct. Gene Hackman, who I consider one of America's greatest living actors, lives on his ranch in Santa Fe. He still does work on his property at 93.
The movie turns 50! Gene Hackman, the late Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Roddy McDowell Was the second highest-grossing film to come out that year, trailing only The Godfather Didn't know it was based on Paul Gallico’s novel - which would be adapted two more times subsequently Corny, clanky but undeniably fun Some decent effects using miniatures and low Dutch angles It's considered camp by todays standards and even modern blockbusters will be dated too But it did usher a new wave of disaster movies in Hollywood Hackman said it was the best job--a money maker as it were; Yet Hackman as a preacher creates a character whose will to live - and to save other’s lives in the process - is a matter of religious devotion, a Job-like burden against a spiteful or indifferent God He strives to make the movie deserve his performance Producer Irwin Allen and director Ronald Neame turn a simple fight for survival into an action showcase that nonetheless goes to greater lengths than necessary to develop its characters and make their survival (and sacrifices) meaningful to the audience
Now after Stella Stevens' passing on 2/17/2023 the only surviving cast member in an adult role is Gene Hackman; Pamela Sue Martin and Eric Shea are also still living but they played the roles of a teen and a child, respectively.
Well written criticism. You give Gene Shalit a run for the money! That said, why did you write, "But it did usher a new wave of disaster movies in Hollywood" didn't Airport predate it by 2 years?
I remember when the ballroom was flooding, you could hear one voice loud and clear saying, "I'm going under. I'm going under." I laughed. Then I thought, if you're going under, save your breath lady, you'll need it.
The only thing that bothered me about this great movie is the ending where the survivors arrive in the propeller shaft at the very instant the rescue (helicopters?) arrive. Talk about good timing!! Also there would probably be salvage boats around as well. After all the ship was in radio contact with Crete just before the tidal wave struck and the Poseidon did send out a mayday. Its not like no one knew they were there.

This is what Titanic SHOULD have been like. An ensemble piece with characters we care about and want to see survive, not two numbskulls who didn't know how to share a big wooden door.
Yes he is, this was one of his last dramatic roles before shifting to deadpan comedy like Airplane! Police Squad and the Naked Gun film later in his career.
@@stefanmovieflixtomasi first of all, you have to give props to the original and the initiative that was put in in the set design, and in that Era of film making, I find that almost always, the characters do a better job of convincing you that this seemingly impossible situation is a reality. The acting is compelling, whereas, now a day you find that the story, the characters, and actors have the luxury of falling back on the special affects and cgi. Old movies were a labor of love, compare the original star wars movies to the trash they put out now, or even the marvel movies, they have stunning visual effects and hollow acting and a poor storyline.
@@boink8653 makes a lot of sense to me as I’m in the Film and Television Production Program at school. You did a good job with your analysis and comment so I believe this totally fits what I’m learning in my program. Thx for your thoughts well done 👍

I remember back then This movie was a big deal Also I bought a new 1972 TS 185 Suzuki...Still got it. It's my bikes 50th birthday...should have a big party for it...
Thank you for the notice... It should have been a News items for many. I was only ten when I saw it... was completely drawn in from its opening scene to end...
I never realized just how bad this movie was. At 10 tears old when the movie was in the theater, I thought it was awful, The Corny script, the terrible acting, the dumb effects, But now I see it is upsetting also, Just drama everywhere you turn and loud explosions and people screaming thru-out the movie, The non-stop shouting and anger ,,, Why would someone want to sit thru this ? Just a pointless stupid movie.
![[DRAGON BALL LEGENDS REVEALS ＆ STUFF] LEGENDS FESTIVAL 2024 Special Edition Part 2](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/af0phKxitX8/mqdefault.jpg)
An EXCELLENT movie with some EXCEPTIONAL acting that still holds up to this day.
Watched this countless times on TV as a kid. Found it just as exciting every time.
This film is simply part of my life! Saw it when I was a kid and has stayed with me since!
Still ,to this day ,one of my favourite móvies of all times!
RIP Stella Stevens and we still watch this movie 2 or 3 times a year and every New Years Eve too!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO
Real bummer that her character didn't live.
Lex Luthor, Quinton McHale, Robespierre, Grandpa Joe, Nancy Drew, Stella Purdy, and a few others search for a way to escape the down Poseidon.
And Caesar!
Lt. Frank Drebin, Police Squad
@@hiridavidfeign Augustus Caesar/Octavian, if you mean Roddy McDowall.
Basically trying to escape the Queen Mary.
Don’t forget the doctor
I was 10 years old and begged my mom to take me to see it. It was my first Non Disney movie LOL 🤩😉😗
It was one of the first movies I saw in a theatre...it was amazing to me, a ten-year-old, too.
My son is also 10years old and only watch this apocalyptic movie hahahaha....
Now it's on disney+ .... so maybe it is a disney movie now hahaha
I saw it at the Community Theater in Morristown.
@@trumpameri1638 hahahaha....Is right .
A fantastic movie with a great cast . The song morning after by Maureen McGovern was a hit.
I sing it to get rid of my Succubus's.
We mustn't overlook the fact that it was Rene Armand's voice singing The Morning After in the movie.
This movie and Towering Inferno where my two favorite the disaster films
My favorites are Airport, The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure.
I watched this on HBO Max today, and it was great, but I wouldn't wanna be trapped on that ship, because I'm in a wheelchair, and there is no way someone like me would look for the way out of there.
Favourite film of all time!!!
Brilliant movie.
Especially the scene when the old lady (Belle) dies and Gene Hackman cries - "please...not this woman" 😢
She was a really good woman. She has a feeling she wasnt gonna make but she tried her best. Wasn't she captain of the swim team back in HS or something?

R.I.P. my beautiful Stella Steven’s 😔💔
I saw a cameo of Leslie Nielsen as captain!😀.
He was the GOAT
The screaming in 1970s films is unique.

It actually became the second highest-grossing film of the year it came out, 1972, after "The Godfather".
@@davidhileman8567 I saw it at the theater , over 50 years ago. I thought it was corny.

Judging from the thumbnail, you’d think this movie was a comedy.

1972, Shelley Winters promotes movie on johnny Carson show: interesting movie, I should watch it.

Classic film
I love how the chairs are superglue to floor.
There are a few blokes in women's clothes too 🤭
Rest in peace sammy Wilson
Leslie Nielsen as captain, but playing it straight
Awesome special effects
2:34 best shot in the whole film!
Lol .. made me look 😂😂😂

It's with a heartbreaking announcement to announce that Stella Stevens passed away today
Un.,peliculon y sus protagonistas. De lujo ..Poseidón el 73. La vi. Asuuu. Y el fondo ,musical. ...irrepetible ......Lima Perú..
Cool movie trailer
This is by far my fav disaster movie.
It should be, none came close to the pop culture status of Poseidon Adventure.
The movie turns 50!
Gene Hackman, the late Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Roddy McDowell
Was the second highest-grossing film to come out that year, trailing only The Godfather
Didn't know it was based on Paul Gallico’s novel - which would be adapted two more times subsequently
Corny, clanky but undeniably fun
Some decent effects using miniatures and low Dutch angles
It's considered camp by todays standards and even modern blockbusters will be dated too
But it did usher a new wave of disaster movies in Hollywood
Hackman said it was the best job--a money maker as it were;
Yet Hackman as a preacher creates a character whose will to live - and to save other’s lives in the process - is a matter of religious devotion, a Job-like burden against a spiteful or indifferent God
He strives to make the movie deserve his performance
Producer Irwin Allen and director Ronald Neame turn a simple fight for survival into an action showcase that nonetheless goes to greater lengths than necessary to develop its characters and make their survival (and sacrifices) meaningful to the audience
Now after Stella Stevens' passing on 2/17/2023 the only surviving cast member in an adult role is Gene Hackman; Pamela Sue Martin and Eric Shea are also still living but they played the roles of a teen and a child, respectively.

Never saw this movie. I’ll have to watch it, it was made the year I was born.
I remember when the ballroom was flooding, you could hear one voice loud and clear saying, "I'm going under. I'm going under."
I laughed. Then I thought, if you're going under, save your breath lady, you'll need it.

You'll never want to step foot on a ship again after this....
This movie is a perfect analogy
for the whole year of 2020.
If you think about it.

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
This is what Titanic SHOULD have been like. An ensemble piece with characters we care about and want to see survive, not two numbskulls who didn't know how to share a big wooden door.
😆👍 Omgosh, that's so funny, and well put. You don't know how much I needed a good laugh... Thanks!
Funny. I agree. Jack and Rose were both self ingratiating and annoying. One only wishes Titanic had struck them instead of the iceberg.
Just another reason to stay on dry land 😅
Leslie Nielsen’s in this
Yes he is, this was one of his last dramatic roles before shifting to deadpan comedy like Airplane! Police Squad and the Naked Gun film later in his career.
So tragic we couldn't find the ship right away
