[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 351291, member: 5079"] VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED (1976) All the components of a great film are here, but it never amounts to much. This should have been a psychologically taut melodrama of people facing an uncertain future, but it plays out more like a 70s disaster movie minus the actual disaster. There's not much here other than a great cast of actors, with a distracting mishmash of accents. I'm not sure why Dunaway accepted this role. She got top billing, but it's her most thankless part since THE TOWERING INFERNO. She wasn't given much to do in the film, aside from wear some great clothes and cut Lee Grant's hair (in a practice run for MOMMIE DEAREST!) Both Grant and Julie Harris had more compelling characters to play. Dunaway looked smashing though, as with CHINATOWN, in the 1930s fashions.
