Product Description

Product description

The Towering Inferno

Amazon.com

Disaster movies used to work because there was little certainty as to who would survive. Not so in this film, really an amalgam of two original stories, about a group of well-to-do celebrants at the top floor of a skyscraper. Cheapo electrical wiring and bad construction management cause an enormous blaze at the lower floors, steadily rising to consume the revelers. Newman's an architect, McQueen a firefighter, and Fred Astaire a kind old gentleman, for which he was Oscar-nominated. O.J. Simpson plays a security guard who rescues a cat. Now that's a disaster. --Keith Simanton

Case arrived with a puncture and smelled like poison. It plays and I’m tossing the case or I would return it.There really should be separate reviews for media…the artwork vs the package it comes in.
Thank you for your feedback

かなり昔に見た映画で、映画館で見ました。スティーブ・マックイーンとポール・ニューマンのアクションが凄く良かった。
この映画は、後のバック・ドラフトにつながっていると思う。バック・ドラフトの公開時私の兄は、本当に消防士になって尊敬できた。そういう思いでのあるこの映画は、素晴らしいと思う。その後に私も消防系の仕事に携わり、仕事を全うした。今も高層ビルの火災は恐ろしい物だと思う。ホンノ小さな火が50階や60階あるビルを業火で包み込み破壊そして消滅させていくのが本当に恐ろしいものだと思い、消火設備の重要性を感じた物です。見直すとそれが思い出されて見て良かったと思いますね。
