Message: [QUOTE="Robert T. Paige, post: 150334, member: 140168"] Originally titled "The Atlantic" and based on the play "The Berg", this 1929 movie is not much on sets and historical accuracy as far as the Titanic goes.The audio and video quality is a bit lacking.Nevertheless an interesting bit of curiosity to add to my collection. Monte Banks and Madeleine Carroll are some of the recognizable names in the cast. Franklin Dyal has a rather "voice of doom" part and much of the acting is in the "hammy" sort of the early "talkies." David Mc Callum narrates an introduction.The final "grand staircase flooding" scene is much like that of the 1997 movie. The DVD is on two sides and also has a dramatization of testimonies of the U.S. Senate Investigations. Some of these are impersonated by: Gloria Scott: Mrs. Helen Bishop Tim Curry: Second Officer Charles Lightoller Bernard Hill: Captain Stanley Lord [Moderator's Note: This message, originally a separate thread in a different topic, has been moved to this pre-existing thread discussing the same film.
