I don't think they had that kind of music in 1912. Or at least they didn't in first class.

The film makers changed the story so that it happened in modern times, which was 1929. This way they could save money on period set clothing and props. Also they had to distance the movie from the real Titanic disaster because the White Star Line were willing to pull every string to have the movie banned because of it's damaging image on their shipping company which was still very active in 1929.

Is this originally called "Atlantic?"

[Aaron1912]

Yes. It was a story about the Titanic and used eye witness accounts. They knew the White Star Line wouldn't be happy about it, so they renamed it 'Atlantic' and brought the story into the present. The White Star Line were still not satisfied and wrote many letters of complaint hoping the movie would be banned. They wanted the Titanic sinking to be buried in the past and never return to endanger ticket sales. Remember Titanic's sister ship 'Olympic' was still in service.

By any chance, do you know what ship they are using towards the end for the launching of the lifeboats? The davits remind me of those used on the Queen Mary, could they be an identical and/or earlier version?

[Aaron1912]

The P&O Steam Ship Comorin. She was built in 1924 and sank in the North Atlantic in April 1941 after sustaining heavy damage from severe weather. A fire spread throughout the ship and once the survivors were picked up, a British Destroyer torpedoed the floating wreck and sent her to the bottom. 455 survived. 20 were killed.

this is not titanic? maybe

[SSPoseidon846]

It's quite surprising to see that the water tight doors are almost completely accurate to the actual ship. Titanic (1953) was made a good 20 or so years after and the doors were horribly inaccurate

I saw a small bit of this 13 years ago

[TheMrleomartin]

thanks for posting this! it's also a good example of the transition for silent to sound films.

i have an old PC game about the titanic, it's a point and click secret agent type game.

The titanic in the game is actually an accurate representation of the ship, and i could recognise various walls, corridors and rooms.

The name's "Titanic adventure out of time" if you're interested.
