@DickieAnginson Yes, indeed. The disaster movie was the last genre of film making that had something of the glamour of Old Hollywood to it. The genre became unfashionable after 'Star Wars' came out and 'The Swarm' bombed at the box office. 'The Towering Inferno' was probably the best disaster movie but 'Airport' and 'The Poseidon Adventure' were also outstanding.

1970s disaster movies were outstanding! They always featured Oscar-winning, star-studded casts from the Golden Age of Hollywood - something that will never happen again in any film - and they relied only on writing, acting, directing and stunt people, physical special effects and sets. No CGI, no animated stuff, just good film making.

@alexisdiva9 Yep for Lisolette they were following the formula so successful with Belle in TPA

@mmmbad Blue screen, but so realistic

@zaniac100 the lady playing mrs. ramsey was the girlfriend of the producer, maybe if he had made her fall out, she would have called their relationship off

You can hear the fireman clicking his torchlight, but it isn't going on and off...it just stays on
-
She should not have continued screaming after the bounce off the ledge with her body twirling like that LOL....
-
Poor Fred Astaire looking for her at the end thinking she had made it out alive....

This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid, especially that scene where she falls out of the elevator.

IMO Ms. Jones' character suffered one of the most thankless deaths in the 70s films (after saving the 2 children and their deaf mute widowed mom). No wonder this was her final film (even though she's still alive). The other character in 70s films who had a thankless death was Shelley Winters' in "The Poseidon Adventure" who died after saving Gene Hackman's character. ;((
