	Titanic: the Complete Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Titanic: The complete Story combines A&E’s outstanding 1994 two-part documentary, Titanic (released earlier from Image), with a second feature, 1998’s Beyond Titanic, to form the definitive collection on one of the world’s most famous and compelling disasters.
		The story is then taken further, to the discovery of the remains of the Titanic in the 1980s, and the subsequent salvage mission.
		The film includes the presence of a fictional German officer, the one lone sane voice among the crew.

	Titanic (1997) at Reel Classics: a review
		When it comes to analyzing whether or not Titanic (1997) is a good film, I think an attempt must be made to understand the film maker's objectives when he created it, in order to have some kind of criteria by which to judge it and determine whether or not he succeeded.
		In the 1953 film (in which you'll notice a few similarities, but of which, the 1997 film is not a remake), the focus of the movie is the breakup of Stanwyck and Webb's marriage; the Titanic is only the setting.
		The 1953 movie could easily have been transplanted to any other time and place with a tragic end, and its essence would have remained the same because in the 1953 film, the plot and characters are the focus.

	DVD review of Titanic (1953) - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I've even heard tell there was an actual ship called the Titanic that went down in 1912 about four hundred miles south of Newfoundland, but this was probably just a rumor spread by Cameron and his crew to publicize their picture.
		In any case, among the better Titanic movies to come along in the cinema besides Cameron's epic were "A Night to Remember" (1958) and the subject of our review today, "Titanic" (1953).
		Whatever, this 1953 "Titanic" is not so much a documentary retelling of the sinking of the great ship as it is a human drama with the sinking as a convenient background setting.

		The construction of the Titanic was delayed due to an accident involving the Olympic.
		The steel used in constructing the RMS Titanic was probably the best plain carbon ship plate available in the period of 1909 to 1911, but it would not be acceptable at the present time for any construction purposes and particularly not for ship construction.
		Whereas the 1953 movie used a 8.5 m model of the ship, the 1997 movie recreated a nearly full size, 236 m long exterior set of the Titanic standing nearly 14 m tall from the water line to the boat deck floor, with its four funnels towering another 16 m.

	DVD review of Titanic: Special Collector's Edition - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		What’s the big deal about “Titanic?” Sure it’s the highest grossing film of all time, gathering over 600 million dollars domestically, it enjoyed a phenomenal run at the box office, spanning months, and is heralded by many as one of the greatest epics ever created.
		Whereas the 1953 film was obviously less dynamic than its modern equivalent, I felt a greater sense of attachment for the people who filled the cabins, saw them grown and change; something that did not happen in Cameron’s film.
		While I may not think much of “Titanic” as a film, I’ll be the first to admit that Paramount has put together a top-notch DVD package that will absolutely thrill fans.

		Titanic is an event film and a monument to Cameron's risk-taking audacity, blending the tragic irony of the Titanic disaster with just enough narrative invention to give the historical event its fullest and most timeless dramatic impact.
		Titanic is an epic love story on par with Gone with the Wind, and, like that earlier box-office phenomenon, it's a film for the ages.
		The film is of a romantic nature which portrays the love of two people with an emphasis upon the sinking of such a magnificent vessel.

	Titanic Review (1953)
		Her passage on the Titanic is a ticket to freedom and a life less ordinary that the gilded cage she and her children have had to endure thus far.
		I have yet to see a film that she has starred in that doesn't hold water years after it was made; all due to the fact of her professionalism and capture of her assigned character.
		While some may say that the look of the '53 film is dated, and heaven forbid, in fl and white!, they must understand that the technology of the time was not the sophisticated machine that it is nowadays.

	Titanic movie review, In Film Australia
		This film capped off the seemingly never-ending run of disaster films in the seventies and featured pretty much the same sort of effects people saw in The Poseidon Adventure (1972), which I might add, was one of the best.
		Two and a half miles beneath the sea, the Titanic's skeleton had remained reasonably intact, and a bombardment of probes and submarines were sent to uncover further secrets of this haunting reminder of out past.
		This film is surprisingly quite funny at times, and rather violent too, though it all contributes to the overall feeling of helplessness and fear that so effectively captivates the audience while emitting the sense of respect, a kind or tribute to the greatest ship of all.

		Titanic, with fl and white pen and wash illustrations by Peter Hogan, was first published by Poolbeg Press in 1996 and is one of McKeown's earliest books to redress that imbalance.
		It covers his visit to Titanic before her maiden voyage, Belfast's reactions to the sinking and lots of vignettes of life for ordinary people - and children - of the time.
		The format is text heavy for the target age group, with few fl and white illustrations, but this is still a refreshing angle in the Titanic fiction library for younger readers with the emphasis on the effect of the tragedy on ordinary people in Belfast where Titanic was built.

		These are Hughes’ first three films as a director, and if you wanted to be clever you could argue that Hall was his onscreen stand-in, a Jean-Pierre Leaud to Hughes’ Francois Truffaut.
		It’s a mark of Hollywood’s utter devotion to genre films that this film, which seems a bit too pleased by its lunge at third-act cleverness, can attract a cast that includes John Cusack, Ray Lliotta, Amanda Peet and Alfred Molina, all of whom must have agents with better scripts on their desks.
		The 1953 film, like it’s recent, blockbuster namesake, was basically a melodrama, with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck as a rich couple breaking up as their ship sails on to meet its watery fate.

		While Titanic's sinking is inaccurately depicted (here the ship is damaged on the port side, and sinks in one piece), the Webb/Stanwyck relationship is handled with sophistication, style, and well-earned redemption.
		Film critic Richard Shickel's has to be heard to be believed for he literally sounds like he's half-asleep.
		Second of all the film is devoid of artifical music (there is no musical score...all the music is done by piano playing on the ship, the singing at the worship service and by the ship's band during the sinking).

		Aside from the dockside location, the film was shot in Chausseestrasse, Berlin, in a studio 18ft x 27ft, next door to the house occupied 40 years later by Bertolt Brecht.
