2025-04-08 06:46:52 +0000 UTCWonderful to see you again Coby and a great reaction to this classic! Many people have been honoring this great mans work but only going for the "Critically acclaimed" or "Award winning" films when his other roles were just amazing. I love the Disaster films of the 70s like this, Airport, Avalanche, Earthquake and The Towering Inferno. Paul Gallico was inspired to write his novel by a voyage he made on the Queen Mary. When he was having breakfast in the dining room, the liner was hit by a large wave, sending people and furniture crashing to the other side of the vessel. He was further inspired by a true incident which occurred aboard the Queen Mary during World War II. Packed with American troops bound for Europe, the ship was struck by a gargantuan freak wave in the North Atlantic. It was calculated that if the ship had rolled another five inches, she would have capsized like the Poseidon. Set fact: The famous interior "capsizing" sequence was done in two parts. The first part had the hydraulically-controlled set tilted to its maximum 45 degrees. The cameras were then stopped and the set was redressed so that the floor (deck) became the ceiling (overhead), and vice versa. The actors were then returned to the set which was then tilted further to complete the sequence.
