Swarm, The (1978, USA) C-116m. SCOPE M D: Irwin Allen. Starring Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Widmark, Richard Chamberlain, Olivia de Havilland, Ben Johnson, Lee Grant, José Ferrer, Patty Duke, Slim Pickens, Bradford Dillman, Fred MacMurray, Henry Fonda, Cameron Mitchell. Terrible disaster movie from Mister Disaster himself, Irwin Allen. Caine plays a scientist, who may be the only one who can stop giant swarm of African killer bees terrorizing an American town (and soon the whole country). Almost completely worthless plot, no suspense at all. Incredible, why so many vintage Hollywood stars signed up for this one. The pits. Expanded to 156m.(!) for home video. Scripted by Stirling Silliphant, from a novel by Arthur Herzog Jr. Score by Jerry Goldsmith.
