Flood! Art Print TV Movie Poster Robert Clip Barbara Hershey Roddy McDowall Rare

Description: Flood! is a 1976 American made-for-television adventure film directed by Earl Bellamy. A large freshwater lake above the small town of Brownsville, Oregon is a popular tourist attraction and fishing destination, which provides the town with much of its economic activity. After a season of heavy rains, the lake is nearly overflowing. The mayor of the town refuses to open the flood gates to relieve pressure on the dam, for fear of impacting the sportsfishing industry, and the town's economy from the tourist trade. When the dam starts sprouting small leaks due to the pressure, town board member, Paul Burke enlists the help of Sam Adams to determine the safety of the dam. When the dam starts showing signs of imminent collapse, and the floodgates are jammed and unable to be opened to lower the level of the lake, Burke enlists friend (and helicopter pilot) Steve Brannigan to free the stuck gates using a helicopter before the dam bursts, and floods the town below. Flood! was the first project producer Irwin Allen did for Warner Bros., after leaving 20th Century Fox where he had made disaster movie history with The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. Unfortunately, Flood!, though promoted at the time as the most expensive made-for-TV film to date, leaves a lot to be desired. Part of the problem is that even if the 2.5 million dollar budget was a lot at the time, the flooding effects are generally quite underwhelming, even for 1976. The main dam bursting scene is shot at night and features rather lackluster model work. We never get any coherent picture of the flooding of the actual town, and a handful of continuity errors give the proceedings a slightly disjointed feel, as the water seems to come and go in certain areas. Plot- and character-wise, the by then well-established disaster movie formula is in place, but without embellishments or twists. It’s all basics, lacks personality, and to be frank it frequently gets a bit boring. THIS POSTER MEASURES 12” x 18” IT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE ESTATE OF THE ARTIST WHO DESIGNED IT, JOSEPH MUSSO. WHILE I OBTAINED SIX COPIES, IT IS TRULY RARE. THE ARTWORK IS FANTASTIC.
