HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: MINI EP.5: THE TOWERING INFERNO
For our next minisode foray into the Faye classics of the 60s and 70s, we take the scenic elevator up to the promenade room for 1974’s The Towering Inferno. Irwin Allen’s big-budget action spectacular about a San Francisco high-rise that becomes engulfed in flames remains a hallmark in the disaster movie genre. Besides Faye, there’s Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden, Fred Astaire, Jennifer Jones, and Robert Wagner among the cavalcade of stars fighting to escape the deadliest blaze the screen has ever seen. Co-host of Pfeiffer Pfridays, Michael McClain, returns to discuss the heart-pounding moments and visual pleasures that make up The Towering Inferno!
YOUR HOST
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, Hollywood Royalty)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
