Titanic was called the ship of dreams and it was it really was James Camerons Oscarwinning film from 1997 is back in cinemas in April this time in 3D to coincide with the ships centenary I cant wait The script was hokum and it went on far too long but the young Kate Winslet just 21 when it was shot is heartbreakingly good And the whole thing remains such a spectacle Take the food For me it would be worth the price of a ticket just for a fleeting moment in the firstclass diningroom when a waiter walks past pushing a dessert trolley We glimpse a platter of whole peeled oranges a spiky pineapple some garnetred pears poached in wine a tower of sticky brandy snaps stuffed with whipped cream and a pyramid of plump profiteroles Right here in pudding form is the full opulence of the Edwardian table
