Directing the Inferno (2006)
** (out of 4)
This four-plus minute featurette has Susan Blakely and Joseph Musso talking about director John Guillermin and what he was like on the set of THE TOWERING INFERNO. With such a short running time you really don't get too many stories and overall you could say this here was a pretty wasted opportunity to talk about the man behind the camera of this somewhat remarkable picture. There's talk of how he liked to handle actors but that's about it as it's pretty clear from the other featurettes that producer Irwin Allen was also doing a lot of directing of his own.
