This morning, some snot-nosed reporter started asking about Maybrook and the clearance of the land, and I don't like it!

Avalanche is a 1978 disaster movie that was directed and co-written by Corey Allen.

Plot[]

A land developer invites many notables (including his mother and his ex-wife) to the grand opening of his new mountain chalet to enjoy revelry and winter sports. The fun stops when an avalanche destroys much of the chalet and the surrounding environs. The survivors must then struggle to escape the dangerous aftermath.

Cast[]

  • Rock Hudson as David Shelby
  • Mia Farrow as Caroline Brace
  • Robert Forster as Nick Thorne
  • Jeanette Nolan as Florence Shelby
  • Steve Franken as Henry McDade

Notes[]

  • The film is rated PG despite the brief female nudity.
  • This is one of only two films for which director Corey Allen received a writing credit. The other film was the 1971 live-action sex comedy Pinocchio (also known as The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio). That film's tag line ("It's not his nose that grows!") was referenced by Crow in Experiment #405.
