A switchboard, a flood, and two lovers drowning in chaos—1937 disaster cinema at its most gloriously unhinged.
A telephone operator covering for a friend's "fling" finds herself in the middle of a major disaster when the city is hit by a big flood and her switchboard is the center of communications.
Practical Effects
Flood sequences using stock footage and sets—janky but ambitious.
Acting
Judith Allen's frantic switchboard panic is genuinely compelling.
Director
Scott Pembroke
