Preceded "The Poseidon Adventure" by seven weeks

Someone else on this board shared how "Short Walk to Daylight" had a similar plot to the contemporaneous hit in the theater "The Poseidon Adventure" -- a small group of people trying to escape a disaster and not all making it. Actually, "Short Walk to Daylight" debuted on TV seven weeks before "The Poseidon Adventure" was released to theaters. The former came out October 24, 1972, while the latter debuted December 13.
