Cast

Production

It was the first of three movies Allen did for TV in the wake of the success of The Towering Inferno the others being Swiss Family Robinson and Time Travelers. Each was made through 20th Century Fox for $1 million but was done for different networks.[1]

"I missed television," said Allen. "There's a hysteria and an excitement in television that exists nowhere else in business."[1]

Allen called the film "Son of The Poseidon Adventure."[1] It was mostly shot on the Queen Mary in Long Beach.[2]
