08:55 Is it a real ship or just a techniques?

Bad acting. Maybe the actors were used to being in silent pictures.

[BSNFabricating]

Was this the earliest Titanic movie? Being only 17 years after the real event, it's like looking back today on something that happened in 1992... I'd like to see the whole movie.

@BSNFabricating actuallly this was the fourth

Saved from the titanic was released in 1912, one month after the disaster.

IN Natch Und Eis was released one month later.

Atlantis was released in 1913.

[BSNFabricating]

Cool... Actually after posting that comment, I DID find something about "Saved from the Titanic", but didn't know about the others. Thank you. =)

@BSNFabricating The first Titanic movie was in 1912. The lead actress WAS an actual Titanic survivor. sadly the film was destroy in a fire shortly after:(

[RupertDCD27]

@BSNFabricating There were 2 Titanic films made in 1912. The one that still around is a german film and is the first ever about titanic

[dallaskeffer]

No effort at all to do period costuming. Flappers and jazz...........well, it's the Atlantic, not the Titanic.

[JasonNewsted88]

the last scene is cut?

[DLAbaoaqu]

The final plunge from ATLANTIC was shown in National Geographic's 1986 documentary "Secrets of the Titanic"

[JasonNewsted88]

yea.. finally i found the entire film

[Kanefan701]

I've got that too. It's a shame they didn't show it this video.

[baasting]

The first ship you see it's not Titanic! It is the Olympic..

[SpaceComics]

Maybe the Titanic wasn't available.

[jamesdean220103]

@SpaceComics why not i wonder

[SSPoseidon846]

@SpaceComics The Titanc had already sank when this footage of the olympic was taken

[RupertDCD27]

@SpaceComics Titanic was filmed when it left from Southhampton. But its about 30 seconds of film

[plusplusplusplusp]

@SpaceComics

I don't think any moving footage of Titanic exists.

[Roncace]

true enough!

Though most people at the time hardly knew the difference

[thedescentpart2]

could YOU upload the sinking scene please? someone uploaded it, but i am sure it is footage from the 1943 version

[SpaceComics]

Actually I don't recall that this film actually showed it., anyway I won't get time to watch it soon.

[Danieltitanic1912]

0:25 is that TIATNIC or her sister Olyimpic and then 0:38 That was Olyimpic!

[DLAbaoaqu]

That's all the OLYMPIC. The only genuine footage of the TITANIC afloat lasts only 10 seconds.

[banjokitten]

The way to tell is to look at the A Deck promenade between the middle of the first, and slightly aft of the second funnels. If it's closed off with windows it's Titanic - if it's open along the entire length of the promenade it's Olympic.

[dawnjones82]

my great great granda was on there :)

[BCraven04]

The scene at 4:35 reminds me a lot of the Leviathan's Main Lobby.

[Napp28]

I thought the exact same thing the first time I watched this DVD. It is surely the Leviathan or the Majestic. Being that this movie was filmed in 1929, both liners were still around and I've read that though The White Star Line frowned on movies that mentioned the titanic, they weren't against renting out their ships as film sets.

[felipe929258]

the ship here is olympic, made one year before titanic workng until 1935 and screped with rms mauretania

[DLAbaoaqu]

I did a little research on this film, most of those interiors were sets built at Elstree Studios in London.

The exteriors, if you want to know, were shot on a liner called the Comorin.

[BCraven04]

Wonderful! Thanks!

[DLAbaoaqu]

3:43: "It looked as big as the Rock of Gibraltar". Not so at 3:10.

[BCraven04]

Haha! So true!

[Mobius4077]

damn that dude at 2:00 looks like a freakin zombie

[BCraven04]

Does anyone know the song the band was playing on the boat deck? Aaron1912 used it in his short film of the Aquitania which included colored footage of the ship heading off to the breakers and I've been really wanting to know what it is!

[zaohad1]

Most eyewitnesses agree the last song played was "Nearer my god to thee" although some say "song D'automne". There were actually 2 bands who operated as seperate units ,one at lunchtime one at teatime but they joined together on the night of the sinking.

[zaohad1]

2 songs the band definitely played as it was slowly sinking were "Alexanders ragtime band" and "In the shadows".

[BCraven04]

Thanks Zaohad but I was asking what song was being played at the end of this video...

[franclin0]

Thanks so much for adding this I always wanted to see it. One thing though how come you didn't add the sinking?

[TWZ95]

Becasue there was no sinking. I think it was edited out due to not frighten and remind others of the Titanic disaster.

[danielchance]

actually, according to Wikipedia, all scenes of the sinking are lost.

[BCraven04]

Danielchance-

There are several other videos here on youtube with footage from this film. I can't remember the name of one but it's of the collision but more and the other has the ship going down (it's called Atlantic (1929) )
