Title: Rubbish!
Product review: This movie completely disrespects the people living in and among the areas of Mt St Helens. The only thing that's good about it is that you get to see the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Art Carney does a fair job of portraying the salty Harry Truman, but if this is based on a true story, why didn't they use David Johnston's real name? This film does not do justice to being there -- watching my friends' houses float down the river, having two inches of ash spread like snow all over the landscape, having to wear masks for weeks to prevent inhaling it, listening to the radio wondering if they found my sister's teacher, which they never did. We Pacific Northwesterners were all deeply affected by this experience. The least the film makers could have done was an accurate presentation of the facts ... names included.
