The Poseidon Adventure

MOVIES!, 7 p.m.

One of the best of the epic, all-star disaster movies made during the 1970s, this 1972 film from producer Irwin Allen features five Oscar winners: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Shelley Winters and Red Buttons. Unlike some of those other movies, “The Poseidon Adventure” works and is a lot of fun in spite of (or maybe because of) its premise: A New Year’s Eve party aboard a luxury ocean liner is literally turned upside down by a tsunami. Led by a determined preacher (Hackman), a small group of survivors attempt to make their way up to the bottom of the boat, hoping it hasn’t been completely submerged. The blockbuste­r was nominated for eight Oscars (including best supporting actress for Winters), and won for best original song (“The Morning After” by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn). The impressive visual effects by L.B. Abbott and A.D. Flowers were honored with a Special Achievemen­t Award by the Academy.
