Avalanche (1946)

Don't confound with a "could have been" Irwin - and not Irving - Allen AVALANCHE

[26 January 2024]

Everybody knows that producer and director Irwin Allen was the most known disaster films producer and director in Hollywood. This film director here is named Irving, and not Irwin, and the title could have suggested another - but very early - disaster yarn. Which is not at all. Just a bland, flat but not too boring thriller taking place in the mountains. And by the way, you also had another film titled AVALANCHE, and directed by another Allen: but still not Irwin, but Corey. No relation with Irwin I guess, for Coreyy, the REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE producer. But I maintain that Irwin Allen could have imagined a disaster flick called AVALANCHE. Corey Allen's yarn was indeed a disaster movie, starring Rock Hudson.
