Dumb. So dumb. Quenin Masters is a poor director. Why didn't they do a straight up fire disaster movie. This is about a series of arson attacks. Tom Skerritt is fine. James Mason adds class. Wendy Hughes turns up to be killed in a swimsuit. Kim Deacon plays Skerritt's daughter though at first it seems she's like his school girl lover.
The film feels cut-about, rewritten. Brian Trenchard Smith apparently directed some footage that was used - I wish he'd directed it.
Ray Barrett is a fire fighter. I wish they'd done more with him. I wish they'd tied in Skerrit more to the movie - they could have cut him out.
I wish this wasn't so bad. Hospitals Don't Burn Down shows how it should be done.
