Nazi movie

[Stefan Diklich]

Do any copies of the nazi propoganda film made about titanic still exist? Where can i get one?

Stefan, brush up your German and go to http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004RLIX/028-5935779-2243737

The movie can be yours for 7.99 Euros. There may be other sources. Search for Titanic and Herbert Selpin.

The 1943 Titanic film can be viewed on Youtube and you might be able to get it of Amazon.

There was a documentary around not very long ago which, while it of course doesn't contain the film in full, includes some pretty interesting info and analysis on what it took to make the film and so forth. "Nazi Titanic," I believe it was called, saw it around the time of the centenary. Keep an eye out for it, most documentaries like that end up being for sale or repeated.

Well, it's been 11 years and it's good to know that this controversial "epic" is now available, with subtitles, on a special edition DVD from Kino Video!

This movie is well worth seeing, if only for Madeleine Astor's hat. Ismay's floosy, Gloria, is a nice dish too. Watch for the tamest striptease on film.

More seriously, you can see where other film producers got some ideas, especially for shots of the flooding.

I also want to nominate Sybille Schmitz as the best "Titanic Leading Lady."
