Heatwave! (1974)


ABC
Directed by Jerry Jameson
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

A man and his pregnant wife flee L.A. when a heatwave results in power outages, water shortages and hot tempers. On the way to their mountain cabin their car is stolen but they manage to walk the last few miles. The town is mostly abandoned except for a friendly doctor and some hikers who see her through her pregnancy. The biggest drama involves building an incubator from scrap for the premature baby. Much like the big budget hit from the same year, Earthquake, this is more soap and less disaster.
