It’s interesting that this was the first Titanic film to simply be called ‘Titanic’. It’s also interesting that clips from this were reused in ‘A Night to Remember’. It’s a literal nazi propaganda film that was banned in Germany when it was released for basically undermining it’s own propaganda and that’s somewhat amusing considering how expensive the production was. Random facts like that and some behind the scenes details are really all this film has going for it though. It’s not worth watching unless you watch anything and everything Titanic or you’re studying films from this time period and their historical context. Most people will be better off just reading the Wikipedia page about this one 🤷♀️
Aside from all that, there are some pretty good effects for the time. The sets are decent but the actual event and the costumes don’t have much to offer when it comes to historical accuracy.
