All The Right Movies

The Towering Inferno (1974) | Ep. 132


Listen Later

Two studios. Two directors. Two DPs. Four camera crews. And two movie stars who counted each other's lines. Luke, Westy and Matt tell the behind-the-scenes story of Irwin Allen's all-time disaster epic. The McQueen vs Newman billing war fought to the millimetre, William Holden outshining everyone in a burgundy dinner jacket, a John Williams score from just before he became a legend, and the dream that accidentally invented Die Hard.


A landmark film and one hell of a story. Hope the wiring's up to code.

Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
