George Nader is very good as an alcoholic reporter who gets the chance at a comeback story of the arrest of a well known criminal, only to discover there is more to the story than meets the eye and he finds himself in a dangerous position. An interesting, fast paced film noir gem. 7/10

Agree. It's a good unheralded film with a strong central performance by George Nader.
His work as a recovering alcoholic reporter in APPOINTMENT WITH A SHADOW reminds us he was more than just beefcake or movie star eye candy; the guy could seriously act. -

It was recommended to me and I picked up the blu ray and I have to say it is very good 'disaster' film.
That they filmed a lot of this on a ship at sea under obviously difficult conditions is impressive to me. The one negative I had about The Poseidon Adventure is they used a model ship during long shots of it at sea and it shows.
A great cast, too. Not usually a fan of Richard Harris but I like him here.
Overall, a terrific film, solid 8/10.
