I am completely sure that Barry Nelson would - so let's pick this:
The movie that singlehandedly set off the Disaster Movie Cycle of the 1970's - this prototype flick wraps a lot of drama and maybe even some soap opera around the disaster - but it's a corker movie - with an "All Star Cast!"
Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin are very good - especially as they're at odds instead of playing pals - and the rest of the cast is fine - but the clear standout is George Kennedy - who made such an impression as Joe Patroni he becomes the only returning character in all of the sequels!
I have this one on DVD - and it's ready for takeoff at any time - even tonight - if you felt like flying by!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
They don't call them emergencies anymore. They call them Patronis.
