Making of The Towering Inferno

A fascinating behind the scenes insight into the making of the epic disaster film - The Towering Inferno. To see cinema legends such as Newman, McQueen, Holden and Astaire doing their stuff is truly entralling. The film has incredible special effects, terrific performances from all of the cast and a wonderful score by John Williams. Apparently, Newman and McQueen had been trying for 15 years to find a film they could do together. Well, it was worth the wait. I remember going to see this film and was amazed by the craft and sheer brilliance of it. Irwin Allen was the Steven Speilberg of his day, and there can be no greater compliment to him than that.
