4.0 out of 5 stars This film shows the difference between what people are and what they could be., 7 Sep 2007
By Dianne M. Darby "randompalindrome" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I caught then last 70% of this film and am now going to buy it.
The acting was superb and you'll find yourself smiling at the old techniques used for the special effects (like projection and models) but the thing that sold this film to me was the believable characters and how emotional it is. Its not soppy, its tasteful and a show of British stoicism but you will find yourself crying at the end for about 15 minutes. The characters are endearing and beautiful. This is a classic film but the relationships portrayed are timeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing emotional film, 4 Oct 2006
By Gary Thompson "titanicfan" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an amazing film showing the tragedy of the Titanic. It shows a family who are aboard the Titanic and the problems they encountered when the ship sunk.

I hardly ever cry at a film, but this film at my eyes watering during the sinking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Going down with all hands......., 22 April 2009
By Humpty Dumpty (Wall St, Upton Snodsbury) - See all my reviews
I'm sorry to say that this 1953 version of the Titanic maritime disaster had sunk well before the end with no help needed from an iceberg. It's a disaster on a fairly grand scale.

Where do I start? By the time the opulent shipboard sets had been built and costed, there seems to have been little left for anything else. The low-key on-board opening scenes hint at cheeseparing to come, and indeed until a couple of hundred extras put in a belated appearence as the water's pouring from the scuppers, the impression given is that The Titanic sailed with 25 passengers and a dog plus the same number of crew. The witless script is as empty as the deserted ship as the understandably bemused Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb, two fine actors criminally badly used here, bicker away fitfully, but I'm not surprised their hearts aren't in it.

The direction by Jean Negulesco (director of Roadhouse, with Ida Lupino and Richard Widmark - recommended) is plodding. Endlessly repeated is the pattern of The Titanic shown steaming over a mill pond sea before we cut to the next 7 mins. chapter in the Stanwyck/Webb run-in, then back to The Titanic steaming etc etc. No variety, no surprise.

The oddest thing of all is that the sets were recycled for Fox's B-movie Dangerous Crossing made in 3 weeks later the same year which cost a fraction of The Titanic's budget and yet is three times the film - a good mystery story with sharp direction and script, the same sets much better employed, and with excellent acting from Jeanne Crain and Michael Rennie.

The final oddity is that The Titanic comes with a 90 mins documentary on The Titanic in film history which is consistently interesting, showing the key stills from newsreels, newspapers and contemporary accounts together with a good commentary. This special feature shows up all the deficiencies of the film it accompanies.

Despite the claims of James Cameron's blockbuster, I still think the Rank film A Night to Remember from 1958 is the best account of this disaster.
