Hurricane Review: A Spectacle Gone Wrong
The film stars Mia Farrow Jason Robards and Dayton Kane under Famous Films and Paramount. A remake of a 1937 tale, it centers on Pago Pago with Robards as governor and Farrow with Kane in a troubled romance amid a massive hurricane. Despite lush effects and a $22 million budget the movie fails to thrill, delivering noise water and dull plotting rather than drama. The corps of actors aside the production relies on spectacle rather than substance.
