Another marvellous entry in the Fox Studio Classics DVD line.
Not as big as James Cameron's computer-generated bonanza, but it's nonetheless impressive.
Exciting, well-acted version of the infamous voyage
The studio-system version. Not bad and a lot shorter than Cameron's bloated epic.
...without a doubt the disc's accompanying supplements are alone worth the price of the package.
...a good motion picture despite its shallow, often sentimental overtones.
fair enough
Compelling, far better than the most recent version. Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck are outstanding as a wealthy couple whose marriage is disintegrating and the love story is sweet and unlike the other version makes sense since both characters are from the same class as would be natural at that time.

Titanic from 1953 starring the great Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb is a true gem. This is another telling of the ill fated ship focusing this time on an older couple whom are divorcing and having to deal with skeletons in the closet. A very well done Fox film worthy seeing.
