Thanks for remembering a great actor and a fun film. This has to be THEE epitome of the “disaster film” that were so popular in the 1970s. I saw “Poseidon” when it was re-released in 1975. Studios had a habit in the 70s of re-releasing films to the theatres. In 1974 I saw both “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Planet of the Apes” in their re-release.
I agree. Poseidon is probably the best “Disaster Film” of the 70s.
There was a slew of re-releases wasn’t there? The studios still do it today but not as much as they did in the 70s.
