- TriviaThe dates given for the hurricane (according to the teletype notices) are Monday and Tuesday, August 17th and 18th. Those exact dates match with an actual Hurricane Hilda, which struck in 1964; and also coincide with the landfall of category 5 Hurricane Camille in 1969, on a Sunday-Monday.
Featured review
The Imperfect Storm...
HURRICANE is a made-for-TV disaster movie, made during the sub-genre's heyday, when almost every type of catastrophic event was fair game.
While the big storm barrels toward the unsuspecting, two intrepid meteorologists (Will Geer and Michael Learned) try to predict its path. Much blustery / rainy stock footage is shown.
Alas, as with many such movies, this one is rather drawn out. It's also lacking in the thrills department! In spite of this, as always, it's fun to watch for our favorite once and future stars!
WATCH FOR: Barry Sullivan as a fleeing resident; Martin Milner as a storm-chasing pilot; Larry Hagman and Jessica Walter as a boating couple, caught in the eye of the storm; Frank Sutton as an oblivious party host; and Patrick Duffey as a nervous party guest!
Not a bad way to waste an evening, as long as you don't expect anything overly exciting...
