Looking for the name of a Fred MacMurray movie building underground tunnel

[JoeCool37]

I saw an intriguing movie with Fred MacMurray in the '70s or '80s where he is the boss of a crew of men building a tunnel under a river, possibly the Holland Tunnel in New York. It was quige suspensful in that it was about to cave in all the time. I have several of Leonard Maltin's movie books listing MacMurray's movies in the back and after looking at a description of all of these in his book, there isn't any describing this movie. Maybe it wasn't Fred MacMurray but I sure thought it was. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Was it an old movie you saw in the '70s or '80s, or was that when it was made? The plot pretty much describes *Under Pressure* (1935) starring Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe. Even if this isn't what you are searching for, it might be something you'd enjoy.

It's NO TIME FOR LOVE (1943, Paramount) co-starring Claudette Colbert.

Well done as usual, MN! Looks like *No Time For Love* recycled the plot of *Under Pressure,* turning it into a romantic comedy. Might make an interesting double feature.

Many thanks musicalnovelty. As tense as I remember this movie being I would have never looked for a comedy. It seems like to me MacMurray and his men nearly drowned or were nearly buried by a cave in, but I'll check it out.JoeCool37
