Floods of Fear is a 1958 British thriller film directed by Charles Crichton and starring Howard Keel, Anne Heywood and Harry H.
Characters are drawn with bold, uncompromising strokes and none of the actors is required to give more than a sketch of a performance.
Audiences who can become involved in the story may find it exciting; for those who are not prepared to believe in the reality of what is happening it may carry less conviction.
The film has a novel setting, but an old idea, and corny dialog doesn’t help the characters to develop overmuch.
[7] TV Guide wrote, "Heywood is a joy to watch as she stands up to the impending aquatic doom.
"[8] The Radio Times wrote, "well performed by an able cast Dallas star Howard Keel, Steptoe and Son's Harry H Corbett, Cyril Cusack and, in particular, damsel in distress Anne Heywood this is typical, and unremarkable, British 1950s B-movie fare.
