Gray Lady Down(1978)- User Reviews

"Gray Lady Down" is the equivalent to the "Airport" disaster movies of the 1970's. Just as those were very good castastrophe type movies, this falls in line the same as a very interesting story of how the sailors and their brave captain survive the ordeal and how the U.S. Navy rescues them. The only negative is the acting of a then-unknown actor named Christopher Reeve (a.k.a. "Superman") who did a poor acting job in this one. Ned Beatty was seriously miscast (physically), too, but he did a fine enough acting job to overcome it. Overall, a very good movie; so much so, that I purchased it. I hadn't seen it since '78, but saw it again today after all those years.
