Poseidon remake director brands original 'over-acted'

The Poseidon Adventure is ranked as an all-time classic – but the director of the remake has called the 1972 original “terribly over-acted”.

Gene Hackman won a best actor Bafta for his role as Rev Frank Scott in the original movie, while screen legend Shelley Winters bagged a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role as heroine Belle Rosen.
