Earthquake. 1974.
The lives of some people are changed when a earthquake hits Los Angeles.
This was a interesting film, first half is made up of the introduction of the main characters, a Evel Knievel wannabe motorbike stunt man, a police man who has been suspended for punching another officer, a architect having marriage problems and is having a flling. I didn't realise this was the 2 and half hour TV version I downloaded so the film breaks as soon as a plane lands during the quake.
George Kennedy plays the good right hand punch copper and Charlton Heston as the architect who basically become a strange reliance team after the quake. Ava Gardner plays the drunk suicidal wife and Genevieve Bujold as the young mistress. Just when you think things may settle the director Mark Robson throws in a curve ball that we knew would happen. For the time frame of this film its decently well done and well acted. Thanks to Dem for recommending this one.
