Every time I see the headline on these articles, “The Morning After”, I think of this song by Maureen McGovern that was the title song of the movie “The Poseidon Adventure”, where a cruise ship capsizes in a storm. We get to see who lives and who dies as a small band of those who survived the initial carnage try to figure out how they’re going to live all the while struggling with each other’s inadequacies and fears.
It’s quite a cast... Gene Hackman, Shelley Winters, Earnest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Stella Stevens (woohooo!), Jack Albertson, and Leslie Nielsen before he became the Leslie Neilsen you know and love.
