MORE POSEIDON

Though I must say I was extremely disappointed that the new Poseidon would not include any of the original cast members in cameo roles, the trailer is amazing. Let’s hope that they kept Irwin Allen’s spirit alive with the way he deliciously killed off the stars one by one as they make their trek to the top now the bottom of the upsidedown cruise ship. The TV-movie sucked not only because of its cheapness but being so PC you knew who would live and die.

In the trailer you’ll notice a blonde female singer on stage who looks confused as the ocean liner begins to tilt. Let’s hope this is a homage to Carol Lynley’s Nonnie from the original.

The poster is available for purchase at MovieGoods.com.

DVD News

Fox is finally showing The Poseidon Adventure some respect and releasing a special edition DVD on May 9th. The movie is in stereo now and features a second disc chock full of extras including commentary from director Ronald Neame, Carol “I can’t swim” Lynley, Stella “Panties, what else do I need” Stevens, and Pamela Sue Martin.

Going back a number of years, I remember vividly after months of begging, my parents finally took me and my brother to see The Poseidon Adventure around my birthday on May 11 in 1973 at the Westbury Drive-in. The movie floored me and changed my life in terms of movie watching and began my adoration of Carol Lynley (above), which led me to a slew of other 60s starlets. This time I plan on buying the DVD the first day it goes on sale and seeing the new movie the day it opens on May 12. I am as excited today as I was then!

Back Blogging after a long delay. My SOS for MIA starlets yielded a few more for me to interview. I recently talked with Melodie Johnson who co-starred in Ride to Hangman’s Tree (1967) with Jack Lord, Coogan’s Bluff (1968) with Clint Eastwood (left), Gaily, Gaily (1969) with Beau Bridges, and Rabbit, Run (1970) with James Caan. She is now an award-winning author of mystery novels so check out her web site.

I will be interviewing soon Danica d’Hondt, June Wilkinson, and Linda Rogers who was part of Eric Von zipper’s Rat Pack in the early beach movies Beach Party, Bikini Beach, and Pajama Party.
