Criterion Reflections – Episode 124 – Ronald Neame’s The Poseidon Adventure

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Richard Doyle and Robert Taylor to discuss The Poseidon Adventure, directed by Ronald Neame. At the time of this recording, the film was streaming on the Criterion Channel in a limited engagement scheduled to end on August 31, 2022.
