Favorite screenplays: The Poseidon Adventure part 4
Once The Poseidon Adventure metaphor turns literal, the movie becomes largely about problem-solving and group dynamics. The Rebel Priest leads, The Cop keeps order, The Lonely Man has ideas and watches out for The Waif, The Girl moons over The Rebel Priest, The Boy knows everything, The Elderly Jewish Couple kvetches, The Whore bitches, The Waiter falls to his death.
