The beautiful poster above is for a remarkable movie I stumbled on today! 
Imagine my astonishment when I discovered this 1933 movie on YouTube — a perfect print of a "lost" the film. It presents stunning special effects about the devastation of the east coast during a series of earthquakes and a colossal tidal wave — all within the first twenty minutes!
The rest of the movie is a grim but interesting post-apocalyptic drama of survival in the remnants of a smashed region of North America.
Watch the video . . . and then comment on it.

I knew of this movie mainly because Republic bought the disaster footage from RKO and used it in their 1939 cheapie S.O.S. Tidal Wave, as well as a serial or two. It's great that now we can see the original film in its entirety -- and in a decent-quality print! |

________________________________
Here's what IMDB says about S.O.S. Tidal Wave.
________________________________
Newsman Jeff Shannon wants to expose political corruption in his city, but backs off when his wife and son are threatened. On election day politicians try to prevent voting by broadcasting footage from the disaster film Deluge (1933) to keep everyone watching the developing (fake) story that NYC is hit by a massive tidal wave. But Shannon realizes the story is a trick.

Crazy idea for a story, eh?
