The only good thing about Escape to Athena was that it starred Telly Savalas. Everything else was bad they just took James Bond and dumped him into the middle of WW2 disguised as a Nazi.The only problem was that he had a strong British accent. How he fooled anyone I don't know. I am also wondering what in the heck David Niven was doing in this Guns of Navarone rip off. If your going to include him, then why not include Quinn, Peck, Baker and Quayle. And as always in war films they had one black guy Richard Roundtree. They should have had Jim Brown play the part instead since he had already starred in Ice Station Zebra and The Dirty Dozen.Don't watch this!!
I recently watched Earthquake and it was really bad and one of the worst of the 70's disaster films. Not only is there an earthquake but they thought they needed a large flood to finish off what was left of the city of Los Angles. These disaster films always have weird casts. This one has Heston, Kennedy, Gardner and Roundtree and Walter Matuschanskayasky as a drunk which was the best part of the film the rest was bad. He was only on screen for about 5 minutes.
