Trivia:
The story of the girl trapped in the Los Angeles sewer was loosely based on the real life tragedy of Kathy Fiscus of San Marino, California. On 9 April 1949, the three-year-old fell down a 90-foot deep, 14-inch wide uncapped well. After 50 hours, rescuers finally reached her, but she had already died. It was one of the first televised "media events", with more than 27 hours of the rescue recorded by television cameras. History repeated itself in 1987 when Jessica McClure fell down a well in Texas, though she was brought up alive after 58 hours.

This is probably the best character development in a movie short of 12 Angry Men. The plot is straight forward and the people are everyday normal folks. The action is limited to one area but the outside world crowds in very well. This is a great "feel good" movie and superb for its era!
