REVIEWS:

"The Towering Inferno towers over many other 'disaster cycle'
motion pictures, probably because of the vision and convictions
of its creator/producer/co-director, Irwin Allen. But whatever
the reasons may be, this film works."

-- David Von Pein; September 2006

"The Towering Inferno is...this year's best end-of-the-world
movie--the world in this case being represented by a 138-story,
glass-and-steel San Francisco skyscraper that, on the night of
its dedication, becomes history's biggest Roman candle. ....
The technological work is old-fashioned Hollywood
make-believe at its painstaking best."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; December 20, 1974
