Krakatoa: East of Java

This is a disaster film from 1969 - it predates Airport by a year. But... well I saw an edited version of the movie, and I think I'm ok with that. It just doesn't have very many interesting characters. The photography is super weird. And the dialogue is silly. The effects are very very cool, though, and Maximilian Schell is so hot. So there's that. Also, Krakatoa is west of Java. Why change the volcano's location? (Actually I know the answer to that. The title – and the film in general – is designed to appeal to orientalist fantasies, and so "east" in the title isn't so much about where the island is as about what the island symbolizes.)
