THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (1972)

Mike Rogo: "This is the first trip since we got married, you know."
Linda Rogo: "Yeah, and why we didn't fly I'll never know."

A group of passengers - led by Gene Hackman's priest in permanent conflict with Ernest Borgnine's cop - struggle to survive and escape, when their unseaworthy ocean liner is flipped over by a tidal wave.

The Naked Gun's Leslie Nielsen has a cameo as the ship's doomed captain while we see more of the waterlogged undies of Shelley Winters (who put on 35lbs for the role) than is strictly necessary.

One of the better of the wave of Seventies disaster movies, director Ronald Neame shot the film in chronological sequence so the cast looked more bedraggled as filming went on.
