Movie Reviews of Titanic
Movie Review: The Other "Titanic"
Summary: 5 Stars
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
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.
Determined to remove her family from the superficial European high society world in which her husband (Webb) is engrossed, Stanwyck takes her son and daughter back to America, booking passage on the Titanic. Webb follows to retrieve his family, only to learn a shocking truth before the disaster occurs.
The film won the Oscar for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay, and is directed by Jean Negulesco.
The DVD, which is part of the Fox "Studio Classics" series, contains audio commentary by film critic Richard Shickel, Robert Wagner and others, and also has a splendid 2-hour documentary, BEYOND TITANIC.

Summary of Titanic
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.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
