i am just curious does anyone on here know if that was how big the boiler room was on the real Ile De France? that has always been my question after seeing this cause i know the mary had 6 of them.
I saw this movie in the 60's when i was a kid, and I saw it again many years later. Both times I found it to be a very engrossing and suspensful film. It goes to show that a well made film with a first rate cast is timeless.
FINALLY!!! I have been trying to figure out the name of this movie for the longest time!!! Thank goodness, it was driving me crazy not knowing what movie this was lol!
The reason the "special effects" look so damn good is because the Ile de France which was used as the "SS Claridon" was partially demolished and the film crew even filled her watertight compartments to make her sink at the bow. When all was said and done, she was turned back over to the Japanese firm that had bought her, and then taken to Osaka for scrapping. A shitty end for one of the most beautiful and loved transatlantic liners of all time
Yes,some editing miscues and probably lost footage at end after films theatrical run. But tracking shots of actual actors runnng down deck at end gave a level of realism which I doubt has ever been equaled in a feature film.
Between 8:40 and 8:50 you can see the plywood 'bulkheads' move back in forth w/the surge of water. The Ile de France was not completely sunk for the film. She was only partly sunk in shallow water and the scenes of her deep in the water were altered for the film. She was later pumped out and towed to a Japanese scrapyard.
What a waste, that's the Ile De France, one of the most famous ocean liners of all time, and the ship that rescued the survivors of the Andrea Doria, they're sinking
@ijnfleetadmiral Being towed to a scrapyard to be taken to bits is hardly dignified for any ship. Surely better to go out in a blaze of glory like this? And another thing - if she had been conventionally scrapped, most people of our era would never have heard of her.
if you go to 10:13 that peace of wood looks very simaler to Titanic.... lol

This particular story of the man trying to save his wife was actually taken from an incident aboard the Andrea Doria when it was sinking.

This is another great disaster movie - probably the most realistic of any disaster movie I've seen yet.

Best film about a sinking ever made.
I remember this as a kid in the early 70s on tv.
The ship they used for the scenes really was partially sunk for the set.

then I guess it is the only film you have seen so far - it is nothing but crap

The sinking does look terrific, but it's a shame the Ile De France was used.

Cool effects, but it's confusing. Is that a funnel or the stern of the ship? It's a shame that the Ile De France was used for the sinking.

thats supposed to be a funnel

She was on her way to the scrapyard anyways...

@DisasterFlicks True, but it was sad enough she wasn't preserved. She should've at least gone to the scrapyard with dignity.

The last shot is actually supposed to be a funnel, not a ship.
