It was an event which shook the world. The night of April 14, 1912 the impossible happened. Just 36 hours from New York, the maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic ended in disaster when the mammoth luxury liner hit an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland.
Those who survived that tragic night never forgot their shocking and terrifying ordeal. Now a star studded cast grippingly recreates the grim horror and panic of those fateful hours based on actual eyewitness accounts.
This movie was made 20 years ago, so it cannot be as good as the newly released Titanic movie, but it is not bad. Ed Bishop plays a Vaudeville producer and it is funny to mention that he tries to discourage a young man whose father is in movie making business. He tells him that movies are not going to last for long, he says they are short term novelties.
Dean Marvin (guy filming) says: "It's all right folks, this reel is nearly
used up! My Dad is in the business, moving pictures"
Henry Harris: "Well tell him to save his money and invest in something with
a future... like Vaudeville"
Henry's wife: "Henry is a theatrical producer,... Broadway!?"

"... was like waiting for ships that never come in"
