Towering Inferno 1974 ( FILMING LOCATION ) Steve McQueen Paul Newman

[@uncfred1]

Really nice job! I am a retired fire chief from SF & know those locations well. An idea...why don't you add captions as to the locations on the scenes? It would make an interesting movie tour for someone coming to SF. For now, the elevators and interior lobby is the Embarcadero Hyatt: the ground building scenes are the B of A bldg at California and Montgomery; the firehouse is at the 2300 block of California; & City Hall is, well, City Hall at Van Ness and Grove. And they all look the same!

Well done, once again, Herve. The way you like up shots in each of your movies is amazing. You truly have a gift. Thank you for the great entertainment, and happy holidays to you and your family.

One of my favorite movies " The Towering Inferno "

[@SteveBrant55]

This was great... and a touching tribute to the real firefighters who protect us. Thanks! And thank you for the preview of your upcoming "Bullitt" video! I love that movie and also drive a Mustang (a 2008 Ford "Bullitt edition" Mustang GT). I will tell my Mustang Bullitt car club friends about you. Thanks again!

Wow I cannot believe it I was there on location in behind the scenes I was thrown out 3 times by a San Francisco motorcycle cop I witnessed a lot of scenes being made with Paul Newman and I eventually ended up seeing Steve McQueen Do a few Also ,The Secret was You would not talk to the actors because that would give you away. So I acted like I was part of the crew, I stayed there for about 8 hours and got bored with it but I cannot believe it's been 46 years ago. I was 21 and I'm 65 years old now The Whole Location Was At The Bank Of America And It Did Not Look Any Way Near What You See .I Was In The Background Scene When William Holden Quoted That Saying .

Thanks for the locations. I love this movie and I love San Francisco.

[@Senor0Droolcup]

Great pick, Herve! I loved watching this film on Betamax when I was a child. I really enjoy your filming location videos. You do a GREAT job. I fly small planes out of Watsonville (near San Francisco). If you're ever interested in doing aerial shots from a plane in Nor. California, send me a post. Happy to do it gratis.

[@pheniafilms]

another great job on locations to one of my all-time favorite movies..thanks Herve well done

[@paulallan1000]

Another great job Herve,,It must be such a buzz to walk in the footsteps of geats like Newman and Astaire =)

[@marcosdesouzadias1658]

Great fan, Esteven Macqueen, good job!

[@leafyutube]

Incredible how they rebuilt the building the same way after it burned down.

[@BrianBellia]

Wow, Herve - that was great! Well done! 👏

[@laurent214]

excellent, bravo!

[@由美樋口-q1i]

タワーリングインフェルノは名作です。凄い映画です。また見たいです。残念ながら、ロバートワグナーさんは少ししか出演しなかったけど、他には、有名な俳優さん方ばかりです。

[@rosav1000]

Extraordinary success!!! l love richard chamberlain!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@dfa3366]

I remember visiting the Hyatt Regency on the Embarcadero in SF and while admiring the amazing lobby I was like... where have I’ve seen this before? Those glass elevators looks so familiar...

[@RTD8481]

Pretty cool!!! Great job on video!!!

[@ucarracer95]

Always excited for new vids of yours...Great Job...Happy Holidays to all

[@AdhamOhm]

I love that the Hyatt Regency is still using the same elevator design after all these years instead of replacing it with some ugly modern thing.

[@rouens]

as always a great job sir

[@KOLLEGUE]

Hervé je kiffe ton accent ! et comme d'hab' tu fais du très bon travail ! good job !

[@Legacy-Scaleworks]

you've done a great job ... unbelievable. greetings from Germany

[@MrBruneye]

I was there on a conference in the early 2000's. I couldn't believe it. The "Scenic" Elevators do not go outside like they do in the movie. Just the interior of the hotel up to the rooms.

[@RaymondHng]

Sorry to burst your bubble. But they used the Hyatt Regency Hotel and 555 California as locations for this fictitious building.

[@btdg7282]

Very cool video! Loved that movie!

[@Stenbrotsgatan]

"You know one of these days they're gonna kill 10 000 in one of these fire traps.".....how ironic!

[@quad5186]

“And we’re gonna keep eatin’ smoke and dragging out bodies till someone asks us how to build’em right.” Might be off a bit, sorry.

[@steveengheben2185]

@@quad5186 just omit “right” and your are good! lol

[@paulallan1000]

Sorry Herve i forgot happy holidays to you and your family =)

[@GeorgeBeyond]

Herve, you are a pro! keep them coming!

[@MBYPROD]

Oui, bon je vais pas m'échiner à écrire en anglais, aprés avoir vu ta video "Bullit" (et donc t'avoir entendu), je pense que tu me comprendras aussi bien en français...LOL. Je découvre tes videos et c'est du super boulot l ! Incroyables, les trucages dans Poltergeist et bon humour. Le tout bien filmé et avec une trés bonne qualité d'image. Y'a du matos ! Je vais vite regarder les autres ! A+

[@hermann-josefkuppers5289]

Bitte diesen Film Mal hochladen wäre super danke

[@Senor0Droolcup]

It's the Hyatt Regency hotel in downtown San Francisco (with its indoor glass elevators), as well as the Bank of America tower, a few blocks away (tallest real building in SF).

[@leafyutube]

Any shots of the 81st floor?

[@stflaw]

Herve Attia is the absolute best at these then & now videos. Check out his Planet of the Apes video, which is particularly well done.

[@puckelchen1]

Thank´s Hervè.

[@Solitude47152]

50th anniversary in 2024. Movie is Timeless

[@llbigwave]

I still use that line in real life. "Oh, they'll find some dumb son of a bitch to (work a double shift, pay an exorbitant bill, fix a thorny problem at work, etc.). One of my all time favorites. :)

[@bhkmax]
