Drowning is so wet

OK, knowing the end of this movie and having seen Night of the Hunter, it has to be said there are similarities. Kids alone against the world? Despite that it's quite watchable. I once had the unnerving experience of seeing Leslie Nielsen drown in The Poseidon Adventure in a Torquay cinema, then went home and watched a late night showing of See How They Run on TV - only to see Leslie Nielsen drowning again. Gross. Anyway, despite losing yer man Nielsen to the deep before the second set of adverts, I still enjoyed the film. Lee
