This was one of the best movies along with the original airport. at the time very confincing without the special effects we have today. Paul newman and Steve Mcqueen ROCK!
You should see Carlena Gower (Angela) now, I saw a photo of what she looks like now, and she is hot, and she has beautiful eyes. She will turn 43 in April.
When this was originallly shown in cinemas they had an interval just at the point after the explosion when Paul Newman’s character was seen falling down the stairwell – so you didn’t know if his character had been killed or not. I miss having intervals in ‘big event movies’ like this one. Paradoxically, the break in the action added to the excitement somehow, especially in the mind of a child. This was a tremendously exciting film when I saw it as a seven-year-old; a great childhood memory.
the fireman helping mqueen with a replacment air tank is Don Gordon, long time friend of Steve Mqueen, who also appeared in other Mqueen movies including Papillion and Bullet. Pays to have friends in high places!
Thank-God OJ saved Elkie

Although the cat’s performance is the more convincing of the two, really.
