4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films is all about letting the visuals do the talking.
Today, we pay honor to one of my favorite genres, the disaster film!
It’s time for….
4 Shots From 4 Disaster Films
The Poseidon Adventure (1972, dir by Ronald Neame, DP: Harold E. Stine)
The Towering Inferno (1974, dir by John Guillermin and Irwin Allen, DP: Fred J. Koenekamp and Joseph Biroc)
Airport 1975 (1974, dir by Jack Smight, DP: Philip H. Lathrop)
The Swarm (1978, dir by Irwin Allen, DP: Fred J. Koenekamp)
Through the Shattered Lens 
What a great genre that was! Nothing holds up to the “all star” casts of the 70’s!

I shared a look at this terrific book, all about films of the 70’s, with Karen Black on the cover…the title was, of course, “The Stewardess Is Flying The Plane!” Boy I love that decade of film: https://johnrieber.com/2023/06/06/the-stewardess-is-flying-the-plane-celebrating-70s-disaster-films-and-action-classics-from-cinemas-greatest-decade/
