    Benjamin Guggenheim only seen and mentioned once in 1996 TV mini-series

    It's at 16:50 in this video of the film: He is only seen and mentioned once in this Titanic film and only during the scene where the Titanic is docked at Southampton. Guggenheim actually boarded the Titanic in Cherbourg. Other Titanic films show him and his mistress Madame Aubert more...

    Did Margaret Brown's husband really try to shoot her twice?

    I've just watched the 1996 TV mini-series Titanic and in it, the character of Hazel Foley (Eva Marie Saint) points out Molly Brown (played by Marilu Henner in this film) to Isabella Paradine (Catherine Zeta-Jones) when the Titanic is docked at Southampton and she says this quote about her...

    A Different Look at Titanic from 1996

    Hi all, I recently found a video on Youtube from the original airing of the miniseries and inadvertently found out a lot of really interesting things about the miniseries. I did a quick write-up about it here: A Different Look at “Titanic” from 1996. It's full of lots of little nuances and...

    1996 Titanic Miniseries List of Inaccuracies

    Found this on Wikipedia and I must admit I was laughing as some of these which I hadn't noticed before in the film: Produced in advance of the imminent James Cameron film on the same topic, this TV version was rushed into production and very hastily completed in order to cash in on the...

    James Cameron's Titanic vs Titanic Miniseries

    Which film would you say was better? And why? For me, and I am sure many will disagree, I choose the James Cameron film. While the love story was nothing more than a " high-school romance," I do believe the acting and portrayal of the characters was quite good. Not saying it was a perfect...

    Benjamin Guggenheim 1996 Titanic

    I watched the '96 miniseries not too long ago (whether I find it dreadful or not is of no importance). I noticed that Benjamin Guggenheim and Madam Aubert are both introduced at the very beginning along with the Strauses, etc. But then that's it. You never see Guggenheim again. Not even a...

    The Worst Titanic Movie Scene EVER

    Let's consider the worst scenes from Titanic movies of all times whether they be blockbusters or documentaries! For me there's a virtual tie between the nauseating spitting scene from Titanic '97 and the repulsive "wormy on the hooky" ill fated fishing scene from Raise the Titanic. Both are...

    Titanic Movie 1996

    Hey everyone. Oh my gosh, yesterday I saw a cool movie about the Titanic. My brother called me and said Laura Titanic's on, I'm so not lying. So yeah it started at 8 pm and ended at 12. The movie was so cool! It was the 1996 version, right before Cameron's 1997. Did anyone see it ? There was...

    Titanic miniseries on tonight Sunday

    I couldn't find a thread for this, so I hope it's okay to start a new one here. Anyway, while watching the 2* made-for-TV flick on Prince William ( Monica, you know we're crazy for the Royals here in US)....I saw an advert for the mini-series "Titanic" with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Showtime is...

    Titanic Mini Series 1996

    Not long ago i thought that i had every Titanic film. I went onto ebay and typed Titanic in and the mini series from 1996 starring Catherine Zeta Jones was for sale. Since receiving it i am very impressed! I like the idea of not just jumping straight into the titanic story in chronological...

    1996 Miniseries

    The "Titanic" miniseries (with Catherine Zeta-Jones etc), almost universally panned on this board, makes a return to the Hallmark Channel this weekend. Well, at least here in South Africa - I'm not sure if the programme schedule is the same everywhere. I think Part 1 airs at 21.15 Central...

    Cameron's Titanic or the Mini Series

    I know many here detest Cameron's Titanic and the Mini Series, but if you had to vote between the two, which one would you say was the worst one? I'd have to say the Mini Series myself. Although Cameron's Titanic was FAR from perfect, the Mini Series was just dire.

    George C Scott and Zeta Jones Titanic Miniseries

    I'm probably going to get some flack for this but I really liked the 1996 Titanic mini series starring George C. Scott as Captain Smith. After viewing this site I have realized that there are many technical inaccuracies and the rape scene was un-called for but it has something that Cameron's...

    Titanic miniseries and Murdoch

    Hello, in the '96 Titanic miniseries, First Officer Murdoch is played as an arrogant man, who's superiority feeling seems to take control of all his moves and words. In Cameron's movie though, he is played as a regular Officer who does his job consciously without any kind of arrogance, fully...

    96 Titanic Miniseries and 97 Titanic Epic

    You know, there are alot of things I like about the 96 miniseries that I hated about JC's Titanic. The miniseries actually focused more on events that really happened and real people, whereas Titanic 97' was mostly about Leo and Kate. I'm sorry, but I was so sick of looking at Kate and Leo by...

    Something I thought was hilarious from 96 miniseries

    Hey did any of you notice that in the 96 miniseries after Hitchens is told to go hard a starboard he flicks the wheel and he second later says the helm is hard over. I thought wasfunny because in Camerons the man actually has to look like hes turning the wheel. Shows you how bad the miniseries...

    Miniseries Script

    Titanic Miniseries scene

    The miniseries was bad, but there was a certain scene that really caused it to go downhill. That scene is the scene where Tim Curry's steward character rapes (yeah, you heard that right) Osa for no apparent reason. When I first saw this when I watched the miniseries, I didn't know what to...

    Titanic movie with George C Scott as Capt Smith

    On April 14/15 I , like many other Titanic buffs, had a Titanic movie marathon, and watched all my different Titanic movies. One movie I watched was the made for tv Titanic starring George C Scott, Peter Gallager, Mary Lou Henner, etc. For a tv production, some of the sets were rather accurate-...
