DELUGE

DELUGE
   Film (1933). RKO. Dir Felix E. Feist, starring Sidney Blackmer, Peggy Shannon, Lois Wilson. Screenplay John Goodrich, Warren B. Duff, based on Deluge (1928) by S. Fowler WRIGHT. 70 mins. B/w.
   One of the first DISASTER movies, this is an impressive spectacle showing the destruction of New York by a series of earthquakes and tidal waves. There are good special effects by Ned Mann, who later designed and supervised the effects in THINGS TO COME (1936), but the survivors' melodramatic love story is disappointing, and less shocking than the one in the book. The disaster sequence was later used as stock footage, continuing to show up in other films for decades.
