| This is the undisputed king of the disaster movies of the 70s. An all -star cast came together for this big-budget thriller about a newly constructed San Francisco high-rise hotel and office building that is set ablaze due to substandard materials.

There isn't much acting (only Fred Astaire and Jennifer Jones are outstanding) in this ,but it was a commercial success and Holden stands out in a red jacket. |
