    Airplane! By Michael Schlesinger In most people’s minds, the 1970s break neatly in two.

  • Irwin Allen, Twentieth Century-Fox's Marineland Of
    Jonathan Cohn 1970s Disasters: Irwin Allen, Twentieth Century-Fox’s Marineland of the Pacific, and Disaster Films Abstract This paper focuses on the career of Irwin Allen, a Hollywood producer best known for his many popular 1960s television series like Lost in Space and his early 1970’s disaster filmsThe Poseidon Adventure(1972) and The Towering Inferno (1974). When Twentieth Century-Fox decided to open their own theme park, Allen was put in charge of turning his many science fiction and fantasy franchises into rides and attractions. What should have been the culmination of his career quickly became his downfall, as his ability to cut costs and maintain a sense of mystique on screen did not translate to the real world, where cotton balls are not so easily mistaken for snow. While the 1970s is often written by film historians as a period of unparalleled artistic and economic heights, Allen’s career and his long ignored theme park complicate such accounts by highlighting some of the more unseemly and at times hackish business practices that propped up the beginnings of new Hollywood. In this article, I will focus on what could have I like to think of Allen as the anti-hero of New been the culmination of the career of Irwin Allen, Hollywood and in this spirit will narrativize this one of Hollywood’s most successful and prolific movement’s history as a tragedy, rather than its producers, whose career spanned from 1938 to the normal consideration as a high point of cinematic late 1980s. I hope to chart out Allen’s career and history.

His scripts for Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tightrope, Alcoa-Goodyear Theatre, Perry Mason, and, of course, Naked City and Route 66, made him Hollywoods most produced writer. Later he dominated the disaster film cycle with The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, brought martial arts phenomenon Bruce Lee to screen prominence with Marlowe and Longstreet, won an Oscar® for In the Heat of the Night, and helped create the TV mini-series. He lived the life of a movie star, not a movie writer, attending A-list parties, sailing his yacht around the world, driving posh cars, and turning out one hit after another. But it came at a price: Four marriages, estranged children, a sons death, and, ultimately, expatriation. Stirling Silliphant: The Fingers of God intimately explores the life and creative process of the man behind Charly, Pearl, The Grass Harp, Village of the Damned, and other big and small screen events. Drawn from exhaustive interviews conducted by author Nat Segaloff in the years before Silliphants 1996 death and augmented by material from his private files, what emerges is a complex portrait of a larger-than-life figure who rose to the top of a larger-than-life industry.

    How You Should Deal With Missing Plan Participants. What you need to do. Being a 401(k) plan sponsor isn't easy. Half the battle is identifying your responsibilities as a plan fiduciary. The other half is identifying compliance and fiduciary errors that can lead you into a lot of trouble. One of the problems is identifying areas of the plan that could result in a whole host of headaches. One problem is that one area that has been neglected for a long time until now is miss- ing participants. Thanks to the government's focus on the topic, this is something that you need to know and follow a process of locating former employees that you can't locate. To read this article, please click here. Great 401(k) Ideas At The Time That Look Bad Now. Well, it looked great at the time. Often some things look good on paper and just don't look good in practice like Crystal Pepsi or Arch Deluxe. Those business bombs cost the businesses that pushed them out. For 401(k) plan sponsors, they can ill afford to imple- ment practices and procedures that might have looked good at the time, but have terrible consequences once implemented. To read the article, please click here. Don't Let Your 401(k) Plan Turn Into A Disaster Movie. Nothing worse Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. The 1970s were known as a decade of disaster movies. They were a really popular genre thanks to the classics Airport, The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. It was a money-making genre until producer Irwin Allen ran it into the ground with The Swarm, Beyond The Poseidon Adventure, and When Time Ran Out (where I ended up rooting for the volcano, it was so bad).
