The Poseidon Adventure（1972） - The Morning After

[60srecords]

Get well Gene Hackman ,everyone sends their best wishes...

[novakralph]

It's impeccably sung all right but by Renee Armand. McGovern had the hit record of the song but wasn't on the soundtrack

[B52sguy]

If there is a better song, ever, I am open to suggestions. @windstorm1000, right you are. The hope of the morrow brings us all together. It, the hope, will never die.

[windstorm1000]

awesome song--beautiful chord transitions and poignant lyrics sung impeccably and strongly by Ms. Mc Govern

[EstelleVEdwards]

I know that same titles can be a bother. But I'm hoping that somebody will find the made-for-television movie 'The Morning After', in which Dick Van Dyke plays a guy struggling with alcoholism. It was made for the ABC 'Movie of the Week' programming segment. It's another title that hasn't been seen or shown in over 30 years, like 'The Gun', 'Shirts and Skins', and the original 'Daughters of Joshua Cabe'.

[SleepWhenIamDead]

...this song really fits this movie....

[aw5959]

Good!

Nice Music!!

[SuperTitanicfreak]

I love this song. It's such a uplifting romantic song.

[Abricialio]

This song should have been played at the funeral of Leslie Nielson

[ACNC1]

I always wondered if they tried to get The carpenters to star in this movie

[knightmaher1]

this is the movie i have to watch for my movie studies at school

Nonnie you pussy man up

[chain0fflowers]

11 people don't like tidal waves!

[chuckysawesome321]

best movie for 1972

[c0179614]

@chuckysawesome321 Yes, I was 10 yrs. old, Mr. Bruce has not die.

[Bamruff62]

I wonder why they can't make music and movies like this anymore.

[lmrs2]

Genial.....pronto la podrán de nuevo en T.V, el reparto espectacular, Enest Borginr, SShelley Winter,Lesle Nielsen.....etc.

[ligreekguy]

One major inaccuracy to this otherwise great movie. The SS Poseidon was a Greek ship, and Greek ships are the best in the world! Not a one of them would ever succumb to a tidal wave!

[Maasdam1993]

@ligreekguy You must be kidding. But there are other ways Greek passenger ships sunk or came to there end by disaster here are a view names. Remember the Lakonia, several ships of Epirotiki Lines Jupiter, Oceanos, Pallas Athena, Louis Cruise Line Sea Diamond. And then the notorious legend that Greek seaman are cowards first of the ship when there are problems such as in the case of the sinking of Oceanos.

[ligreekguy]

@Maasdam1993

Well, unlike the British, they always had enough lifeboats (Titanic), and never used passengers as human shields while carrying contraband , and thus attracting German u-boats (Lusitania). The Greek ships are still considered the finest in the world, and Greek sailors will always risk their lives for other Greeks. The Oceanos had a bunch of stuffed shirt Brits and South African WASPS who reportedly acted like assholes to the crew. One reaps what they sow.

[Alphagamma32]

@Maasdam1993 And what about the Titanic, Lusitania, Empress of Ireland, Brittanic

[Maasdam1993]

@Alphagamma32 Yes they all sunk but that is not the point. The point is that ligreekguy said that Greek ships would never sunk after a rough wave hit them. That is a bid strange. You can never say that will not happen to us. On year base several ships sunk without a trace after hit by such rough waves. I cannot believe that this never happened to a Greek ship.

[irish89055]

@ligreekguy It's not possible to founder from a tidal wave or sunami but hmmmm aren't Greek ships the ones that when they do the crew is the first off???

[ligreekguy]

@irish89055

One incident does not take away a solid reputation, and the fact remains Greek passenger liners are heralded as among the finest in the world.

[Blitnekoff]

Shelley Winters all wet and and floating about.....that's hot......

[SuperTitanicfreak]

I love this song. Here to you Queen Mary Poseidon

[Hunternet7]

Wouldn't really call it an adventure, more of a holiday that could have gone better.

[generationll]

This was a #1 song in 1972.

[Joey31608]

Succubus! 

[charlestonchewy]

@Joey31608 I was thinking the same thing. That was the song the Succubus sang to Chef on South Park.

[Japanese1970]

From the original actors, Six are dead and

six are alive- Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine,

Carol Lynley, Stella Stevens, Pamela Sue Martin,

Eric Shea

[oumen01]

R.I.P Leslie Nilesen

[DaveWollenberg]

I just wonder if Carol Lynley's voice was ever tested to see if she could sing? How can anybody hate this pretty song? Maureen hit #1 pop, and, #6 AC in Billboard. God bless!

[imalex3008]

I only like the remake by Fergie is my favorite singer.

But i Love Stella Stevens in The Poseidon Adventure, I love the characters, love the effects and I love it when the boat flipped.

[funplayer1000]

i never heard this music but when i just did like no i kind of laughed a bit

[medicoenamorado]

A pesar de su aventura el Poseidon sigue en el recuerdo por lo que le sucede en la pelicula asi como por esta hermosa cancion.

[ofalltheranters]

Wait, Leslie Nielson was the captain? WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM

[jhigh2]

@ofalltheranters lol

[jadegreenkaty]

@ofalltheranters  Yeah, from Airplane! No wonder the ship sank! But, I love the song!

[woody41435]

@ofalltheranters ......I always enjoy reading the comments left by viewers........BUT YOURS TOP THEM ALL!

I think it is one of the funniest things I have ever read, and after passing it on to my brother, son, daughter and grandson and of course my wife, you have left them all laughing. Thanks for sharing a GREAT one. I am still enjoying it.

[Dukeoftruth]

very funny! You made my day.

[lakotandnd]

@ofalltheranters " surely, you can't be serious.. I am serious.. and quit calling me Shirley"

[saebank]

@ofalltheranters I want to take a billion likes for you !!!! .....ha ha ha

[DA90027]

The Renee Armand version was much prettier, I've always said the McGovern version was overproduced. It sounds better softer and more intimate.

[Blossssom]

Beautiful song!

[dramaticguy]

Shelley Winter's death in this has to be one of the most touching screen deaths after.

[TheNYCDestroyed]

Why is this the best disaster movie? I couldn't even see the darkened hallways after the capsize!

[MetallicBill]

@TheNYCDestroyed In HiDef? BluRay? I've not seen the remake ...yet, but someday when I get a chance

[knack555]

[ThoughtTraveler]

I feel old as hell....I remember having the 45 record of this...

You young I Pod kids have NO idea what a 45 record is do you?

[SuperInfective]

@ThoughtTraveler 75% of my vinyls are 45. i'm 19. The question is "you kids have no idea what a 78 is." hahaha

[ANEBUTI555]

懐かしい。大好きでしたこの曲。また再び聴くことができて嬉しい­かぎりです。up主に感謝です。ありがとうございました。

[gtz1975]

This reminds me of that Daffy Duck/Porky Pig cartoon where Porky is in a boat fishing and Daffy turns the boat upsidedown and Porky's still in the boat underwater upsidedown...

[gtz1975]

There's got to be a morning after.

[lakeladymel]

@gtz1975 Yes there will be ! So inspiring!

[TheAerosmith432]

Maureen McGovern sang this song. it came out in 1969.

[frankd1965]

@TheAerosmith432 release year was 1972

[jamie5856]

Who sang this original version I think Juice Newton did the remake in the 80"s

[wattlesong]

@jamie5856

Maureen McGovern's was always the original version.

[jbgiant2003]

Blonds with blue eyes! Maureen McGovern, queen singer of disaster movies! 1970's! Wow!

[MetallicBill]

Leslie Nielson started his career as a serious actor, and boy, glad he gave that up, eh?!?!?!

[frankd1965]

@MetallicBill he did a lot of the QM(Quinn Martin) shows like the Fugitive, The Streets Of San Francisco, Barnaby Jones, Cannon, & The FBI.

[MetallicBill]

@frankd1965 I grew up in the era, but since the TV of modern age won't rebroadcast classics enough, I forget them altogether. Sadly this is true of music and TV nowadays. The new broken ground then is refreshing still

[gtz1975]

The 70's sure loved those disaster films!

[wattlesong]

@gtz1975

Yeah, we knew they were crap, we knew exactly what was going to happen, but they were such a fun period.

[neweast1]

how about enrie borgnine still floating around

[jasonaw2]

the poseidon adventure should be one of the 1,000 moves you should see before you die

go poseidon adventure

[Soundsoftheseventies]

Love the movie and what a great cast! Jack Albertson just finished Willy Wonka a year earlier, and would have a hit TV series coming next. Roddy McDowall was in the middle of The Planet of the Apes movies, Gene Hackman around the time was in The French Connection. Between all, this might be the biggest Academy Awarded cast put together in a single film! On seperate note- I always wondered why Eric Shea, the young boy, was the only person not included in the cast photos??

[neweast1]

he had a lousey agent

[trechan]

hmm I'm not sure which one is better..

[calimar28]

This original move 10 times better than the new one, or the tv shows. Frankly, the mythical ship and story, is almost more popular than the Titanic!

[pefkisuzi]

You are SO right! Enjoyed both the "made for TV" and the new film version for what they were, but not a patch on the original. Have you seen the "Ghost Whisperer" episode set on the Claredon (The last voyage) where the steward is called Rogo?

[tiffanympm]

I soooo agree!

[lexislulu]

One of the best movies ever evert new year i look forward to watch it

[calimar28]

LOL great way to bring in the new year, with a disaster movie! LOL

Anyway, one of the great all time movies, no doubt about it. Must see for anyone.

[Smoshkonetwo]

alanlovedog same hear I heard this song in south park to and if anyone doesnt know the episode its season 3 episode 3

[alanlovedog]

first time i ever heard this song was when it was used in the succubus episode of southpark - it was only a few years later that i saw this film and realised where it was from

[paultinsel]

the first movie i saw at the movies...this and planet of the apes are my faves forever

[viessmann2009]

I told my wife to play this song at my funeral.......any day now.

[couerl]

lol

[asagabon69]

@viessmann2009

still alive now?

[BeatleEDs]

@viessmann2009 - You still there?

[Mrginguel]

!!hoooooo,,,,que hermosos recuerdos me trae esta cancion , era el verano del 80 y yo era un niño y papa que amaba tanto el cine como yo ahora lo amo llevaba a mis hermanos y ami a un bar que el limpiaba para ver la television cuando esta estaba cerrada,,,,gracias papa!!!

[DisasterFlicks]

Love this song. Maureen McGovern appeared in The Towering Inferno singing "We May Never Love like this Again". She also appeared as the singing nun in Airplane!

[Sassydear]

sockitome sockitome sockitome sockitome :::blrgh::: Jive dude barfs in sickness bag...classic!

[leafyutube]

Nice song. She also sang the Towering Inferno song and the Superman love theme.

[doctorortizr]

IM AFRAID SO!!!!

[rume1959]

my favorite song

[Smwox007]

I like the simpson's one:

I think we're heading for disaster

and most of you will not be saved

unless the captain is attentive

we'll all be crushed by a huge wave.

[Guckums]

I love this movie. Lex Luthur is in it from superman

[pizzasammy]

so is your mom... jk.

she was just in Priscilla

Lolz

[nerovsdante911]

anybody got tree fiddy?

[zefora100]

EL MEJOR TEMA SIN DUDA...

[JohnAppers]

This was a great movie, that brings back so many memories. Lots of emotion.

The re-make was quite a disappointment.

[ViejoCabo]

@JohnAppers The remake was a shit!!!!

[1ampixie]

Finally the orginal! GREAT SONG

[superjoel01]

great film.

but why do people critisis the new one.

the new one rules.

and so does the old one and the tv movie.

[cynanyc]

大好きな映画に大好きな主題歌。

モーニングアフターは1972年のアカデミー歌曲賞を受賞。

あのゴッドファーザーのテーマをおさえて、です。

[stooge81]

Nice shot of Stella Stevens' cooch at 1:27.

I so wanted to hit that, Carole Lynley and Pamela Sue Martin (Nancy Drew) after seeing this movie.

[sbinsdca]

Come on... you wanted to 'hit' Shelley Winters, too :)

[57highland]

You're so right, pal. They were sure fine, every one of them.

[bodybum]

great movie. the remake is shit.

[nanajanamike]

Will never,ever forget Mad Magazine's version of this movie.

They called it,"The Poopsidedown Adventure"!

[Uyhazi]

Totally true!  Haven't thought about that in YEARS.

[Mod60s]

This is fantastic! brings back great memories of the jam packed theater and my 1st blockbuster film experience. The DVD tells all about how the song came in to being, great nostalgia trip! Thank you so much!

[babymoondancer]

1:04---That's the Wayne's World font!!

[Cervezasi]

What a great movie!

[babymoondancer]

Miss Disaster herself!! Awesome theme song.

[Bradat26]

I was only 15 or 16 when the movie came out, but Ms. Winters' death scene "haunted" me for a few months after I saw it. I loved this song and, not meaning to be morbid, wanted at one time to have this played at my funeral, right after the end theme from "Jaws" because they both held promise for what was to come.

Thank you for posting it.

[Hinidas]

Funny that you said that. I was 14 when I first watched this movie and had my first "faith crisis" then. I wondered how could a benevolent God let good people go through such a terrible ordeal... I also loved the song though I could not understand the lyrics back then.

[RobHellmann]

Wow, great!! i was just curious if this wonderful song was on YT, and guess what, it happens to go along with one of my favorite classic movies , never new that. Chillintime !!!

[henripche]

They used this song in South Park (Season 3, "The Succubus")!

[okrabay]

such a beautiful song while you watch people getting blown away in the video..

[GODSAPOSTLESOFROCK]

Well nice responces here to read but reviewing a movie I once saw as a kid in grammar school with this inspirational song I can only say that I was on my way to full blown puberty when I saw the part exactly at 1:27 . Great film and one of the best songs !

[fladude06]

the time, money, thinking, and special effects crew that worked on these 70's disaster movies are nothing compared to today's sp/fx. yeah its great to see it more real but this is just as real as it can get for such a simple time in life when we worked, went to school, came home, watched after school specials, had dinner with mom or dad, hung out with your family, played games, opposed to todays world with kids massacreing schools, killers running rampant, ceo's stealing money etc.. yuck!

[lothy59]

oh i agree.. shelly got an award.. the cast was five star.. buttons, enerst, hackman..this movie was incredible..and so is this vid...the remake should stay underwater.. thanks for this vid

[NJTank]

This movie was 1 Million times better then the awful remake

[gtz1975]

@NJTank  they made a make?????

[TheNYCDestroyed]

@NJTank How? I couldn't even see the darkened hallways after the capsize.

[ajdonabed]

@NJTank

totally agree with that :)

[thxdts]

You got that right!!!

[femalefootkisser]

@NJTank I agree. Remakes usually always suck!

[rjrgolf]

... great memories of a much simpler time.

[dpurves28]

I've loved this song for years, but somehow have never watched the movie. I just saw it, and was looking forward to hearing the song at the end, and then remembered that back then they didn't have twenty minutes of closing credits like they do now.

I will say that the recent effects-laden remake can't compare to the original.

[default99telecom]

The Iranian people love this American movie.

[Hertjies]

powerful movie, powerful song ... I have never been on a boat cruise since I've seen this movie, just wont go :)

[dedy100]

ça ne nous rajeunit pas...

A l'époque j'avais fait traduire la chanson par un copain qui vivait aux Etats-Unis....

Un peu triste quand même, mais si nostalgique...

[at90percent]

This must have been just before Leslie Neilson became funny in movies.

[frankd1965]

sure was. He also appeared on all Quinn Martin Shows as well.

[CrazyBoutThe70s]

good movie,beautiful song!

[babymoondancer]

Miss Disaster herself!! Strong, incredible voice.

[janeelliotsucks]

This is the worst cruise I have ever been on! I want my money back.

[VitoPossilipo]

By the way: Isn´t "adventure" a too harmless and positive word for that tragedy?

[VitoPossilipo]

I find the movie very sad and shocking, even though Leslie Nielsen is in it- and that song even emplifies the melancholie.

[pefkisuzi]

Didn't this song win an Oscar?

[Earthlinked]

Nope - and this will make you blow chunks!!!

In 1972 the best Original Score was for the music from "Summer of '42" and the best musical song was the theme from "Shaft"

Guess it wasn't a great year for songs!!!

[Saladbar]

Actually, "The Morning After" DID win the Oscar for Best Song. "Shaft" won Best Song the previous year.

[Stevieraylittlewing]

True.

If you look up Wikipedia under 'Academy Award for Best Song' there's a complete list; interestingly there are so many songs that were nominated but didn't win that have stood the test of time perhaps better than the winners; like Cheek to Cheek (Irving Berlin, 1935). And years when quite a number of future standards were in the running like 1943 when You'll Never Know won and That Old Black Magic and You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To were nominated, alongside seven (7) other songs!!!

[frankd1965]

Evergreen, Arthur's Theme, Alfie, The Way We Were, We may Never Love Like This Again. won oscars for best song.

[Japanese1970]

Stevie,

Wikipedia is not reliable as source for information.

[VitoPossilipo]

Yes, and deserved, in my opinion.

[stillwaterguy04]

I never tire of this movie, no matter how many times I watch it.

[pefkisuzi]

I'm with you on this, much better than the remake. We had no CGI then, and by god it shows!

[stillwaterguy04]

CGI - Computer Graphics International or Clinton Global Initiative? LOL

[no1cfielder]

Thanks for the great stereo sound!

[jayoceanboy]
