Inquiry, Holding J.P Morgan's I.M.M the owners of White Star and White Star's management responsible. When the British Board of Trade again refused to accept any recommendations, Congress started the Ice Patrols and passed laws requiring any ship making regular port of call in the US to have enough lifeboats for every person on board. The disaster poisoned US- British relations for years and some think delayed our entry into World War One.
The Titanic Disaster was the 9-11 of the Edwardian era, every nation was affected. It was also the first nail in the coffin of the British class system. Other countries were outraged that steerage passengers were prevented from coming up on the boat deck while the Duff Coopers were among only 16 in their boat, having bribed an officer to take only them, their servants and some friends. The US, refusing to accept the Board of Trade's "business as usual" judgement, had it's own.....
Overall this movie's OK, but as a true Titanic fanatic, the only thing that sucked with this film was the very inaccurate interiors of the ship (i.e. the grand staircase).
I know this version of titanic is very innacurate,but it really demonstrates how dramatic it was in those last hours,and how awful the disaster was for so many people.
At 3:40 Captain Smith asks the officer to put the last entry into the log. I don't get it, why? The Titanic is just about finished its not as if anyone's going to be able to read it after she goes down.
the acting was amazeing,stanwyck-wagner-basehart, and clifton webb should have won a oscar for this one of the best performance is move history,no matter how many times i watch the last scene i will always remember clifton webb saying yes hes my son,thanks for posting one of the most underrated moves of all time and yes better then james camerons version though that was also good, thanks movegoer
@ardosfilmProduction it's the same!James cameron copied this movie!the characters are the same!just compare.IT's exactly the same;JAMES CAMERON COPIED BADLY.
@fisteberg Why do people like you feel the need to tell people how much you hate the 1997 movie? The fact that he prefers that film is entirely down to him. Also, it's not exactly the same at all. Of course some characters are very similar to other titanic movies, but you do realise that this was based on an actual event, right? Get over yourself and stop whining because you don't like a different movie, and you apparently can't handle the fact that someone has a different opinion than you.
it's much more sad than James Cameron movie....I even stoped doing my job for a few minutes...congratulations for the director and artists in this movie....
@Firemarioflower the boilers are long underwater by that time. The extreme damage to the stern of the ship is related to the air pressure that was trapped there. The bow was intact because it slowly filled with water hence no air trapped to explode.
@RobinPratt no you can see the boilers at 0:36. titanic especially sunk in the forward part, so the boilers near the stern didnt sink yet. the titanic wasnt damaged at the stern yet at the moment before that explosian, so your statements are incorrect im afraid.
no air was trapped, since you could see the smoke coming out of of the hatch at 0:39
@Firemarioflower Hello, I base my comments on the scinentific research done by the submarine underwater teams who viewed the actual wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic, not on a model sinking in a water tank in a movie. It is proven fact that the stern was destroyed by the trapped airpressure. That is why the bow is in so much better condition than the stern. The trapped air blew it apart. See actual photos and film footage. Sorry!
@RobinPratt No, thats not true. Scientists dont always have to be right. The stern is in bad condition due to its landing on the bottom and because it was suddenly filled with many water around 2:19 a.m.
Air can't blow things apart, that's weird! If it was true, the bow would have been ruined too, since there was air in there too when it submerged.
Xplisit23 well her boilers didn't explode because they're intact on the ocean bed I think and she didn't have a gaping hole, the rivets popped and she hit on the starboard not port side. :)
It's not difficult to go to a library and look up some pictures. There are way better Titanic movies out there, with proper historical accuracies, that were made before this. The character plot line in this movie is great, but I just hate watching a movie set around something so historical and the makers get practically everything wrong. it upsets me greatly.
I hate to sound rude, is actually the second worse Titanic movie I have ever seen. It actually beats Raise The Titanic in my book, no matter how disgusting it is to me. It's not because the ship doesn't split, I've seen A Night To Remember a thousand times, that movie is amazing, I don't care that it didn't split. What I do care about though is the fact that most of the interior and exterior sets looked nothing like rooms that were on the Titanic. (cont)
this movie was alright but nothing will ever compare to the titanic 1997 version. it was not made to be a movie about the titanic. it was made to be a love story with historical facts to make it sound more interesting. as said by kate winslet. it had dramatic scences, the best and cutest actors in the world, and the best plot line ever. this movie is not bad but it doesnt even come close to james cameron's version.
To all of you who dislike the Cameron remake for it's inaccuracy, it's reliance in vfx or the love story - you all may have some points but the panic during sinking seemed most realistic in Camerons film to me.
'I've been proud of you every day of my life, but never so much as right now. I feel tall as a mountain.
Lump in your throat time. A bitter, cynical man, who thinks his wife's son may not be his, reaches his glorious (but quiet) moment of truth. Clifton Webb, forgotton by most, at his finest.
The bow separated from the stern when the ship exploded? That's one way to look at it... PS the boy WAS in a boat-- he got out to offer his place to a little old lady.
Add to below; '53 version has better storyline, better acting (by far!) and didn't rely on CGI effects, which didn't exist then anyway. This film was not intended to be a scientific fact filled documentary, it was for entertainment. Just like all movies in those days were for, not to see who can out special effect the last "blockbuster". Okay, I'm done now, thanks! ;-)
@zastro52 Making a movie about the Titanic presents a special challenge. We know the ship is going to sink, so we have to do something else to build suspense. Therefore, we create imaginative story lines, so that, throughout the movie, we wonder who is going to be saved and who will be lost. This movie, although historically inaccurate, does a masterful job of building suspense.
Also; At least the '53 version didn't smear the memory of Officer Lightoller by portraying him commiting suicide in the ships last moments. There was absolutely no evidence to base that "incident" on, and James Cameron knows it. Perhaps that's why he paid to erect a monument in Officer Lightoller's home town, after he was rightly criticized for that cheap attempt at drama. My original posting here was to pay homage to what I feel is a superior film. That's my opinion, which I'm entitled to.
It certainly is easy to play armchair quarterback 50 plus years later, and after the wreckage has been found and examined. This movie wasn't intended to be a fact filled documentary, just as the 97 version wasn't. It was noted in the book, "A Night to Remember" that the ship may have broke in half before it's final plunge, as two survivors that lept from the stern at the last moments, testified that it appeared to right herself for a moment before finally disappearing.
@THESIMOLEONSHOW People, please! James Cameron's film was NOT the gospel! Yes, the ship broke. No, most witnesses did NOT see it that way. Cameron exploited the knowledge of the break-up for an overly spectacular climax. In reality, it was much more subtle, mostly hidden below the water and leaving the sinking to look much like the traditional images in older movies. I talked to survivors when I was a kid and most did not recall a break-up. Cameron even admits this.
@tinnieandminga Is that so? Well let me tell you something my dear little teenaged know-it-all: I have been a Titanic historian since 1972. Long before you ever wore diapers that had to be changed by your mother I had amassed knowledge far exceeding any you demonstrate. As for James Cameron, he HIMSELF has admitted he overstepped reality with his portrayal of the break-up so put that in your Gospel somewhere.
Furthermore, tinnieandminga, I was called to participate as an extra in Cameron's film as a member of the Titanic Historical Society--we served as technical consultants for production. On what AUTHORITY do you base your statements? Now, it was a good movie, just as this earlier Fox film was. But both, in fact all, Titanic films have their flaws. Is this film your life because of the story or because of the Titanic itself? If the latter, you would do well to educate yourself further.
This 1953 film had a whooping siren that did not exist on the Titanic. James Cameron had electric flashlights in the life boats in his movie which was totally wrong (they used kerosene lanterns). The lists of details could go on and on. The fact is, no movie has been the full "gospel" on the subject, though the closest would be "A Night to Remember" (1958), even though the special effects in that British film are not as impressive.
Lastly, tinnieandminga, I personally talked to actual survivors who were THERE. Eyewitnesses who were still living in the 1970's who recalled their experiences to me. Who have you spoken to to be so assertive in your knowledge of the events? What homework have you done beyond watching a movie? Grow up and get real child. You have a lot to learn yet.
@DCnightcrawler hey children are the best judges, right? and for a titanic historian since 1972, you should know that the point of the titanic wasn't the facts (contrary to what you believe) it was a love story. the scenes in the movie could make the toughest person cry and the weakest person stand up and believe. The drama was incredible and it leaves me with tears every time. and if you really have been doing titanic things in the 70s then you have to be AT LEAST 40. don't you have something..
@DCnightcrawler nice job erasing the second part of the comment i left on your page! but good! you should be backing out! first off, i'm always right and i always win, and second of all, 50 summthing year olds shouldn't be bullying 8th graders. goodbye.
@DCnightcrawler Yes i agree!!James cameron movie is not gospel at all!it worth nothing.JUST A COPY OF ANCIENT MOVIES UNTHINKABLE!!he invented nothing.He exploited the knowledge of the break up and he had MONEY ESPECIALLY.A TRUE BLOCKBUSTER.A SHIT WITH CAPRIO AND KATE WINSLET ONLY AROUND THEM!!!a shame!!
a VASTLY superior version of the Titanic tragedy wrapped around a much more interesting and moving character story. Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck are outstanding. I've seen this movie a dozen times and still tear up in the final scene with Norman & his "father"....
@zastro52 Superior?Maybe, the story is not as memorable. Also The Titanic sinks wrong, It Splits in half and the smoke stakes fall, This Titanic (of course there was no way to tell back then) just sank, all in one piece. 1997 Version is far superior, but this movie is definitely an underrated classic.
Tonight, dear friends, at 11:39 EDT, remember the souls on board the RMS Titanic, that is when the Berg was sighted 99years ago tonight, that is when so many histories were made. For the next hour and a half, pray outside of time and space, for these dear souls......they will return the favor. Eternal rest to all of them, may they pray for us...a worse fate awaits us all..
@Taopuppy Well it is a movie not a documentary. Plus just because someone is of another faith doesn't mean they don't know songs from other faiths. I'm Catholic, but I know how to sing the "Shema", the holiest prayer in Judaism.
A couple of inaccuracies: Mrs. Straus did not give up a chance to get into the last lifeboat, she actually refused to get into one of the earlier boats launched, and then went to sit with her husband on a couple of deck chairs. Also, the character played by Thelma Ritter is evidently Molly Brown, but Molly was not that coarse in her manners. She actually tried to endear herself to the old money crowd by educating herself in art, history and languages.
Molly is shown getting into one of the later lifeboats, but she actually escaped in the second boat launched from the ship. Another thing: they show a lot of stewardesses about to go down on the ship, but of the twenty female crew aboard, only three perished.
@ligreekguy Still a great film despite the few inaccuracies. I'd say "A Night to Remember" made in 1958 is the most historically accurate film about the Titanic.
Absolutely to both! I love Barbara Stanwyck, and A Night To Remember, being made by the British, is typically accurate. The sinking scene is the most poignant as well as frightening.

Let's hear it for Clifton Webb and his portrayal of a self-centered, insecure man who learns to love a child who is not his.
His tearful eyes at the end.

Tonight, dear friends, at 11:39 EDT, remember the souls on board the RMS Titanic, that is when the Berg was sighted 99years ago tonight, that is when so many histories were made. For the next hour and a half, pray outside of time and space, for these dear souls......they will return the favor. Eternal rest to all of them, may they pray for us...a worse fate awaits us all..

@codekey74 Funny how they got it right in the shot above the water, but below the image somehow got flipped.

Just wondering, but if Mr. and Mrs. Strauss were Jewish, how would they know the words to "Nearer My God to Thee"?

@Taopuppy Well it is a movie not a documentary. Plus just because someone is of another faith doesn't mean they don't know songs from other faiths. I'm Catholic, but I know how to sing the "Shema", the holiest prayer in Judaism.

@willowmarian me too. the sinking of the TITANIC was the most scariest to look at.

A couple of inaccuracies: Mrs. Straus did not give up a chance to get into the last lifeboat, she actually refused to get into one of the earlier boats launched, and then went to sit with her husband on a couple of deck chairs. Also, the character played by Thelma Ritter is evidently Molly Brown, but Molly was not that coarse in her manners. She actually tried to endear herself to the old money crowd by educating herself in art, history and languages.

@ligreekguy
Molly is shown getting into one of the later lifeboats, but she actually escaped in the second boat launched from the ship. Another thing: they show a lot of stewardesses about to go down on the ship, but of the twenty female crew aboard, only three perished.

@ligreekguy Still a great film despite the few inaccuracies. I'd say "A Night to Remember" made in 1958 is the most historically accurate film about the Titanic.

Absolutely to both! I love Barbara Stanwyck, and A Night To Remember, being made by the British, is typically accurate. The sinking scene is the most poignant as well as frightening.
