im amazed how a film can be lost and then someone finds it (or noticed they own it) almost 100 years later, and an okay working reel too... man I love when I see lost films.
It was, both this and Saved From the Titanic were believed to have been destroyed sometime around 1914. Saved from the Titanic was destroyed in a March 1914 fire at Elcair's US Studio. Given that In Nacht und Eis was kept in Germany, it's a good bet the war may have played a role in why this particular film was destroyed. The fact this copy survied (keep in mind this was made in 1912) is a miricle in and of itself.
This copy actually turned up in 1998 in a private collection in Germany.
When you think about it this film hasn't seen the light of day since 1912 and it's a good be it never left Germany until recentally, this print survived World War I, the German Revolution, the Depression, Hitler's Rise to power, World War II, the Occupation/Divison of Germany, and the Soviet Dictatorship in East Germany, it's a merical this copy of the film survived to be rediscovered
Wow, so this is the very first piece of Titanic movie. Pretty nice. The good thing in the language is that, no matter which language do you know from the followings : English, Scotish, Irish, Welsh, German, Austrian, Swiss, Liechensteinish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic; you can understand the other for at least 50%.
XD Ah, man, I feel sorry for you non-german speakers. You're missing out. But some of the intertitles are a bit cut-off, so are difficult to read... Other than that, I'm ecstatic that this film is available to watch. Many thanks, AwesomeCinema!!
Anyway... Isn't this film directed by Fritz Lang? [Dies Film ist unter der Regie von Fritz Lang, nicht wahr? --probably broken german, but...]

Dude, I'm sorry people are stealing this. That "Friendo" guy is stupid. You were here first.

It's so obvious they're using "Deutschland" and "Amerika" (or "Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria") as a substitute for "Titanic!"

One of my relatives, who is a Titanic fanatic, has been desparate to get his hands on this video. Any idea where it can be found or purchased?

can you translate all of these subtitles? I can get some of them roughly, but it isn't as interesting unless you know exactly what it says
danielchance 3 years ago
you might want to consider taking down the "in part" video now that you put the entire thing up
