What a hoot! Fun to watch for the laughs

Back in the day I guess this was a really big deal since it actually won an academy award- Special Achievement Award Winner 1975 For visual effects. By today's standards it's truly hilarious. The blood spatter in one scene made me laugh out loud and I'm usually pretty squeamish about that kind of stuff. Anyway it was kind of fun to see all the old actors who aren't with us anymore in their cameo parts and The earthquake and flood action was pretty good although it lasted way longer than a real earthquake would -can you imagine if a six point earthquake lasted for a half hour? But they were just showing all the different people impacted -so scene after scene after scene- I didn't time it but it truly was not realistic to think that it would've lasted that long. Everything would've been happening simultaneously but the way it was filmed it didn't exactly give that impression it just seemed like it went on and on and on just-- like the movie ! But fun for a laugh almost 50 years later.
