'Deluge' is a now almost-forgotten early American disaster movie made in 1933. For decades, it was thought that all prints had been lost, but an export version, dubbed into Italian and shortened by ten minutes, was found in the 1980s, and is now available on NTSC VHS tape (there is no DVD release available, sadly).
Unlike later disaster films, the catastrophe - in this case, the unexplained destruction of New York (and the rest of the world) by earthquake and flood - happens early on, the rest of the film dealing with a group of survivors and a (racy for the time) love triangle.
This video shows only the disaster itself. While crude in places (the mattes and composites in general leave a bit to be desired, and are not that great even for 1933), the sheer scale, ambition and execution of the miniature effects is spectacular and can only be applauded.
A gigantic model of lower Manhattan was built, with breakaway buildings shaken to pieces and then washed away by thousands of gallons of water from dumptanks. In charge of the effects was Ned Mann, who later went to England and oversaw the effects for the Korda/Wells classic 'Things To Come' (1936).
Republic Pictures bought 'Deluge' in the 1940s and mercilessly plundered the disaster scenes to use in their serials, most famously in 'King of the Rocket Men' (1949).
