Description:
Unhappily married and uncomfortable with life among the British upper crust, Julia Sturges takes her two children and boards the Titanic for America. Her husband Richard also arranges passage on the doomed luxury liner in order to let him have custody of their two children. Their problems soon seem minor when the ship hits an iceberg.
Amazon.com:
Although it was never known for strict authenticity, the elegant 1953 production of Titanic holds just as much fascination as A Night to Remember and James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster. Its original screenplay deservedly won an Oscar® for its brilliant, dramatically involving creation of fictional characters--primarily a strained couple on the verge of divorce (Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck)--whose lives are forever altered on that fateful morning of April 15, 1912. Director Jean Negulesco focuses on this human drama, lending a personal touch to the luxury liner's fatal collision with an iceberg; if the scale-model disaster (complete with motorized miniature lifeboat rowers) looks quaint by modern special-effects standards, it still captures the emotional impact of Titanic's ultimate fate. While Titanic's sinking is inaccurately depicted (here the ship is damaged on the port side, and sinks in one piece), the Webb/Stanwyck relationship is handled with sophistication, style, and well-earned redemption. As would happen with Cameron's Titanic 44 years later, fiction proved a perfect vehicle for tragic factual history. --Jeff Shannon

This 1953 version of the 1912 sea tragedy may not have the spectacular special effects that enhanced the 1997 James Cameron movie, but it is still an excellent film with strong performances by an top cast, headed by Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Wagner and Thelma Ritter.

Got this for my mother in law. It is what she wanted, so I am sure it is OK.

This version is wonderful in all aspects! Sure, there are mistakes in the sinking and such, but the two leads are spectacular! I got so involved in their story that nearly forgot the inevitable. Barbara Stanwyk is so fantastic. She seems to be the definition of 'leading lady'. I've seen other reviews compare this version with the 1997 version, in my opinion both movies hold their own! If you enjoyed watching the James Cameron version I recommend purchasing this one. You will want to see it again ... Read More

Visited the Titanic in Halifax, Nova Scotia & the Tour Guide said this movie was a more real view of the actual sinking.
Was more than satisfied with this video

I've always had two minds about this movie. As a "movie" it's good. The acting is well done, the script, except in a couple of spots, is logical and works well, the photography is excellent, and the special effects- for the time- were well executed.
However, as an accurate account of what happened on the Titanic, it's a dismal failure. However, it was not made as a documentary.
I was excited about receiving the DVD version of this movie, because it included a commentary track. ... Read More
