I saw a good print on YouTube ( better then many films on TV ( specifically Rio Conchos which badly needs remastering)), but I do not think Deluge is a good film at all. With the exception of the beginning, which features the destruction of New York City and is well done, it is more like a soap opera then a disaster film. It is not even close to being on the same level as the earlier Winning of Barbara Worth which had a great flood scene ( of course that did Star Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper), let alone Towering Inferno, which is still the best disaster film of all time. Peggy Shannon ( Claire) does a decent job and is nice to look at, but it did not make me like the movie. 3/10 stars. 2 for the beginning and 1 for Shannon and nothing for anything else.
