Thank you..... Marianne
The Irwin Allen movie itself is an exciting adventure and features an all-star cast as they try and work their way from the top of the ship to the bottom, after it gets knocked over by a huge tidal wave on New Year's Eve, and is floating upside down. This movie is credited to starting the "disaster" genre and it really is amazing to watch considering the limitations of special effects during that time. There is not a moment where the viewer does not believe that these people are in fact on a ship and that it is under water. Amazing!
THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE is presented in wide-screen and looks fantastic! The movie with optional commentary by director Ronald Neame, and stars Pamela Sue Martin, Stella Stevens and Carol Lynley. The second DVD gives you lots of extras:
****** DVD 2 EXTRAS ******
"AMC Backstory" - 24:55-minutes
Behind-the-scenes special on how the story got off the ground and how it almost got shelved. There are interviews with cast like Stella Stevens, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Roddy McDowall (1995) and others and shows behind-the-scenes footage.
"Cast Looks Back" - 05:35-minutes
Cast members Buttons, Stevens, Lynley, Martin (I believe these were done in 2005), and McDowall (1995) provide memories of the shooting and how they knew the movie was going to be a hit.
"Falling Up With Ernie" - 04:08-minutes
Entertaining interview with actor Ernie Orsatti who played "Terry" and is the actor/stuntman who took the iconic fall from the table and crashed through the sky lamp.
"Writer Stirling Silliphant" - 09:14-minutes
Other screen writers discuss Silliphant's work as the Poseidon Adventure's screen writer and his work on other disaster films like The Towering Inferno (Special Edition) .
"Heroes Of Poseidon" - 09:47-minutes
Writers discuss the movie's storyline and the allegory to the bible. It's an interesting take on the storyline and viewers will have a new way of looking at the movie.
"The Morning After" - 08:53-minutes
Song writer Al Kasha, vocalist Maureen McGovern, cast member Carol Lynley, and session vocalist Renee Armand, whose voice is heard in the movie as Lynley's singing voice, talk about the Oscar winning song.
"RMS Queen Mary" - 06:22-minutes
Lackluster narration of the ship and how author Gallico was on the Queen Mary years before and got the idea for the book, "The Poseidon Adventure." Although interesting, the monotone narration makes this the least thrilling of all the featurettes.
"Conversations With Director Ronald Neame" - collection of three interviews with the director:
-- "Sinking The Ship" 03:19-minutes - how the director made it appear that the ship was sinking and the actors being covered with water.
-- "Generation Of Fans" 03:12-minutes - how the movie is garnering new fans with each generation.
-- "Turning Over The Ship" 02:17-minutes - how the filmmakers made the passengers seem as though they were falling and tumbling inside the ship.
"Vintage Promo Material"
-- "1972 Featurette" 09:51-minutes - Vintage featurettes showing behind-the-scenes and interviews, back then, with cast members.
-- 2 Trailers and 1 for "The Towering Inferno."
"America Cinematographer" 43-page reprint of the magazine article on the making of.
