	The Poseidon Adventure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Poseidon Adventure was a 1972 action film and adventure film based on a novel by Paul Gallico.
		A sequel called Beyond the Poseidon Adventure had an equally star-studded cast, but was a box-office and critical failure.
		The second film Poseidon, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and scheduled to be released in theatres in 2006, is only loosely based on the premise of the 1972 original and involves an entirely different cast of characters.

	Filmtracks: The Poseidon Adventure (John Williams)
		The Poseidon Adventure: (John Williams) After the surprising success of Airport in 1970, the stage was set for a series of highly popular disaster films in that decade, led by a leap from television to big screen by producer Irwin Allen.
		There is little setup time before the cruise ship is struck by a tidal wave and flipped, and the music that introduces the liner at the opening doesn't vary much from the troubled environment of escape attempts during the rest of the film.
		The selling point of the album was The Poseidon Adventure, with a source cue added to the bootleg material and the entire score recorded directly from the original tapes; unfortunately, only the mono backup recordings remain viable at this time for most cues.

		The reason for its enduring success is due to a good script (tinged with just the right amount of camp hi-jinks), taut direction, and a colourful collection of well-rounded, archetypal characters played by a cast of character actors made in heaven.
		For some, The Poseidon Adventure might be dismissed as anachronistic tat, but this would be a sad and misguided perception.
		Yet despite such amusing idiosyncrasies, The Poseidon Adventure maintains a sophisticated level of tension and suspense that justifiably earns itself the status of a modern classic.

		Nine others heed his call, and the 'adventure' part of the title ensues as our heroes for the film battle all manner of wet and fiery obstacles in their quest for survival.
		The Poseidon Adventure is as snappily an assembled example of such a movie as any of the veritable fleet of calamitous concoctions that hit '70s theatres, all buoyed by a fabulous cast who ham it up to just the right degree.
		The last time I saw The Poseidon Adventure was at the drive-in on first release (ahem, when I was VERY little, I may add), and only from where the ship capsized thanks to a klutzy stepfather who wasn't too good when it came to getting to places on time.

		On this last trip the Poseidon's new owners, in the interests of saving money, force the captain (Leslie Nielsen) to drive her at unsafe speeds and, more importantly, reject his attempts to ballast her properly.
		Director Ronald Neame's "The Poseidon Adventure" was one of the first motion pictures in the industry's 1970s return to its noble lineage of "disaster films"--a trend that continued with much success into the '80s and even today.
		That said, few motion pictures were ever as physically trying to its actors as was "The Poseidon Adventure." Eleven of the fourteen weeks of production were spent on sets of soaking wet, inverted ruins, amid countless explosions and a constant emanation of fire, smoke, and steam.

		The Poseidon looks very much like a model - although the sets are clever and intricate - but there's a certain something about the movie that sort of catches you up and races away with you.
		The Poseidon Adventure is one of the classic disaster movies and is the horrific story of a boatload of passengers who are having the time of their lives on New Year's Eve, when a tsunami-spawned tidal wave hits the suspect ship and flips her over.

		Given the pre-sold value of that instantly recognizable title, it was probably inevitable that someone would remake Irwin Allen's 1972 genre-starting all-star disaster The Poseidon Adventure, although you might not have guessed someone would do so for TV and the big screen within the same year.
		Still, what NBC may have forgotten is that our lingering fondness for this Adventure has less to do with its merits than with its contributions to the camp pantheon: Carol Lynley lip-syncing The Morning After in her hot pants; Shelley Winters swimming to her death; Bette Midler mocking Winters' swimming to her death.
		This new adventure's first major mistake is to have the ship turn over not because of a rogue wave, but because of a terrorist blast.
