   There’s an apocalypse. People die! Violently!

   Our heroine, Claire, is a renowned swimmer who wears a modish two-piece swimsuit– extremely rare for the time. I actually did a double take when she ripped off her clothes to reveal it.

   Even more revealing– after Claire swims away from two sex-starved men who are literally fighting to own her, she arrives on a distant shore, passed out. There she’s discovered, and, apparently, she...

   There’s a murderous rape gang roaming around. We see a suggestive shot of one victim who was bound and killed.

   Our main character is bigamous, wanting two women and not being able to choose.

   Basically, one dude brags to the entire town that he’s going to jerk off to the Venus de Milo. To think, you used to have to do that in person instead of in the local newspaper’s comments section.

   Deluge is an oddity in a lot of ways. A lost film for decades, then only available in awful, Italian dubbed prints, the movie finally reappears as close as it was meant to be shown 84 years after it premiered. It’s special-effects heavy and deals with a post-Apocalyptic wasteland, which, I can safely say, is not something I write about on this blog...

   The reason you may be hearing a lot about Deluge‘s release right now is that for 50 years this was a lost film. Because it wasn’t a financial success for RKO (the movie went wildly overbudget), the...

   The history of this once-lost classic film (now available on DVD) is fascinating, but it's nothing compared to the film itself. Running about 70 minutes, this disaster movie gets right to with the destruction of most of the world by earthquakes and tsunamis.

   An extraordinary precursor to the disaster films of the 1970s that predates the trend by nearly forty years, Deluge is the visually arresting adventure of a man tasked with repairing civilization after a barrage of West Coast quakes decimates humanity.

   Was Deluge a lost movie?

   Is 'Deluge' a good movie?

   • A great watch indeed. If I'm not mistaken - I believe that 1933's "Deluge" is very likely the original Hollywood mega-disaster movie. Now 85 years old - This film's massive "tsunami" effects are, indeed, pretty lame and laughable by the rigid CGI standards of today - But, all the same, they are still worth a view.

   Is deluge based on a true story?

   • Deluge is a 1933 American apocalyptic science fiction film, directed by Felix E. Feist, and released by RKO Radio Pictures . The film is very loosely based on the 1928 novel of the same name by S. Fowler Wright, with the setting changed from the United Kingdom to the United States.

   Why did 'deluge' go out of production?

   • The 2004 disaster movie 'The Day After Tomorrow,' uses almost the exact gigantic wave action scenes in the same city, New York City, as the 1933 Admiral picture. The extensive use of its footage in other movies explains why "Deluge" was withdrawn from the market and was considered lost until an Italian print was discovered in 1981.

   Was 'Deluge' an explicit film?

   • In 1933, "the code" was enacted that pretty much took care of sex and violence in Hollywood. While not an explicit film by any means, "Deluge" does deal fairly frankly with sexuality, lust and rape. I wonder if RKO discovered they had a film that they could not re-release, much like the fabled lost Warner Bros. comedy "Convention City".

   When did 'deluge' come out in English?

   • A full English version emerged in 2016 and was fully restored. As a 'post-apocalyptic' film, "Deluge's" catastrophe came about by a combination of an extreme low pressure system and a massive earthquake off the Eastern shore at the same time, creating floods throughout most of the world.
