Thank you for posting this timeless classic. I have a black and white copy. In many ways it is superior to Titanic. It never ceases to break hearts. You can't help but still grieve for this senseless loss of life.
Still the best film version of the legendary ship ! first saw it as a young boy in the 60's. never forgot the tragedy, still holds my attention 60 yrs later,
movies like this are fascinating when they filmed this it was maybe 47 years after the tragedy. 47 years from now was 1976… the passage of time like that just trips me out.
This was my very first Titanic film when I was a kid. I have ALWAYS wonder what it would've been like to see it in color. Yet again, Mark has helped to fulfill my dreams. You deserve so much more notoriety bud.
Not seen this since I was about 10. Amazed by the accuracy some great acting and directing. Years ahead of its time and apart from not showing the break up probably a more accurate portrayal than the James Cameron block buster
The break-up of the ship wasn't shown because at the time, the break-up was just considered a story not confirmed at the time. Even Walter Lord, whose book was the basis of the 1958 movie, wasn't sure. It wasn't until 1985, when Captain Robert Ballard discovered the wreck in two large pieces, along with a debris field, that a break-up was confirmed. A number of passengers and crew, including the ship"s baker, Charles Jonquin(the baker who"s drinking during the sinking) heard sounds that sounded like steel breaking up. Yes, he was one of the survivors interviewed by Walter Lord for his book, but he passed away in 1956, before the movie was shot>
I understand, yes, but colourising non black and white films just look weird and off, and this is no exception, plus the black and white is just way more nostalgic
Man i cant stop sobbing. I have a 2 yr old and just the thought of these men having to say goodbye to their babies breaks me especially with them knowing what was gonna happen 💔 My heart absolutely aches for everyone on board
The most appalling thing about the "Titanic" disaster is that there were 473 empty seats in the lifeboats -- enough to have saved nearly one-third of those who died. Even that understates the ghastliness of the situation. The capacity of each lifeboat -- which was written on the side of each one -- was based on the boats having been tested in Belfast harbor, by filling the boats with dock workers. But these were big, burly men, much larger than most people. A boat that could hold 60 longshoremen could have held 70 or 75 civilians, especially if some of them were women and children. The iceberg may have sunk the "Titanic", but human negligence made the disaster much worse.
Yes of course I agree with you. Fully filling most the boats could’ve been filled if something like boat 4 not being lowered to A Deck happened, but there just simply wasn’t enough time. The officers, deckhands, quartermasters etc. tried to get all the boats down as quick as possible, and everyone knows the story of Smith trying to get boat 6 to come back round the starboard side, and Boxhall or Hitchens *I can’t remember which* refusing. But the crew didn’t have enough time, didn’t fully fill the boats, and they still had to rush, and weren’t able to lower boat A at all. More lifeboats might not have even saved more people, and they wouldn’t have had enough time to fully fill them.
Of course even though there weren’t enough boats for all, Titanic was still considered to have an excess of boats. And even though it’s always claimed, more boats wouldn’t have made a difference. They managed to get 18 of 20 boats away in time from the ship, were there more they would have likely been swamped, capsized, or dragged under with her.
@@natewatt3537 I think you'll also like the 1986 sequel "The Night Lives On" which also talks about the discovery of the wreck in September 1985 by Bob Ballard's expedition
People like to say if the ship had enough lifeboats things might have been different, given how things played out that night, the crew being improperly trained in launching the boats or the use of the rockets as distress signals, men being pulled out of lifeboats or forbidden from boarding, the crew launching boats not even half full, Capt. Smith not clarifying his orders on Women and Children First, Carpathia being 58 miles away, Mount Temple being trapped on the other side of the ice field, Californian having its radio switched off, steerage passengers being locked below and the lifeboats not stopping on F-Deck to take on Steerage passengers, passengers not being informed of the danger, and near-empty boats not returning to take off more passengers and crew, the total number of lifeboats wouldn't have made much difference, especially if passengers were refusing to board and the crew was launching them half full. What Titanic showed was that it wasn't just laws that needed to change, but an entire worldview
Indeed, very correct points. However, I'd like to point a couple things out. Firstly, the BoT regulations were made with the idea that lifeboats with enough capacity for all on board wouldn't be needed due to the amount of ships sailing the Trans-Atlantic route at the time. It was thought that if a ship ran into trouble, then there would be enough other ships in the area to render assistance, therefore the lifeboats would at as ferries, bringing passengers and crew to the rescue ship. The second point here is that it took the crew until the ship was making the final plunge to get 18 of the 20 boats aboard launched. Had there been enough for all on board, there's no possible way they could have been loaded and launched in the time they had
@@85bbenjaminfan Well in the Titanic's case there was only the one ship "in the area" the Californian and then her captain didn't bother helping. So it didn't help that there were other ships nearby on "the busy North Atlantic run." All other ships were far away really including the Carpathia she needed 3.5hrs to make it and by then the Titanic was completely beneath the water.
Gotta love how the most historically accurate film about the Titanic opens with a scene which is - in point of fact - pure hogwash. The Titanic never had a Christening / launching ceremony; let alone one presided over by a fictitious "Lady" as depicted here. Even so, I love this film. It is briskly paced, sincerely acted and completely gripping from start to finish - I even have to admit that "The Lady" is my favorite character.
I read that the binoculars were accidentally left at Cherbourg, so they couldn't see the iceberg. An experienced sailor could smell one, though - and a foghorn will bounce off the ice and back again. Also, there was no law that the wireless had to be on and manned 24/7 until after Titanic. CQD had been recently changed to SOS and not all ships were yet used to it or recognized it. After Titanic the international ice patrol was formed.
This is such a tragic, yet timeless classic, no matter in colour or not. May I ask, have you ever built a model of the grand old lady, Titanic? Take care, and all the best.
Hi Chris, I use built models in my youth. I suffer from carpal tunnel and I don't know if my hands are steady enough to build a model. I would like to. There's a new lego Titanic that is coming out but that is $630.00 & 5ft long. I would leave it in the box if I ever bought it. I have no room for such a long lego ship but that would be an awesome video for the channel.
Always found it a little amusing that this film begins with a christening, as in reality it was not the custom of the White Star Line to do so when they launched their ships. As one H&W worker was heard to recall, "They just builds 'er, and chucks 'er in."
Neither of them were, as it was not the White Star Line's custom to christen their ships. Their names were engraved in their plating and painted in, and at the appointed time of the launch, a signal was given to trigger the hydraulic rams that pushed the hulls down the slipways. No champagne bottle, no ship's godmother naming them and asking for them to be blessed. They just built 'em and chucked 'em in. About the only special thing dong for Titanic's launch was a British and American flag hung together on the gantry above her, as well as marine code flags that spelled out "SUCCESS".
1:42:39 "Approach to the New World" was the painting in the Olympic actually the one in the Titanic was "Plymouth Harbour." Both are by Norman Wilkinson who is credited with inventing dazzle painting .
Hmm Not sure about the colourisation. Film was shot with the intention that itbe viewed in Black & White. Think that the colour detracts more than it adds.
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong, you cannot legislate for fate. apart from having enough life boats to ensure there is room for all passengers on board.
Cpt Smith along with Thomas Andrews and 1st Officer Murdoch may in the end have actually chosen to go down with the ship rather than potentially get faced with hefty unpleasant grilling at court (and probably jail time too on top of that). It would've been either that or at least they were afraid of becoming outcasts. The reasons are very cogent: Cpt Smith and Thomas Andrews knew exactly that the Titanic had far from enough lifeboats Murdoch issued the orders that failed to save the ship .
Also, while it really isn't funny, when I was an early teenager I took and taught Tae Kwon Do classes at a local health club. While I was relaxing in the jacuzzi an older English man told me that he was Kenneth More...came to find out that Kenneth More passed the year before I was born. He knew an awful lot about his movies though, so he was either crazy, or was a big fan of him. Edit due to misspellings...lol
Did not the visible ship only 19miles away even TRY to contact Titanic, when it saw the flares, to CONFIRM what the rockets meant!?!?!?! Good God, it coulda saved hundreds from a terrible death!
This movie is one of the greatest productions ever made about the Titanic. BUT I just can't stand this colourised version. B&W is perfect the way it is. Trying to colourise any black&white movie turns out a disaster. Makes me want to gouge my eyes 😭
Since it was AI colorised, some things don't fit in too well, an orange iceberg, orange tint on the ocean at night, making the ocean look warm than it was really legality cold and should of had a blue tint effect.
I’m not sure that whoever was directing the scene where Thomas Andrews was explaining the damage to Captain Smith had any clue…The Andrews character performance is completely flat.
James Cameron copied and pasted many scenes from ANTR into his epic. He'd probably admit to it as it's known he watched the film and considered it excellent.
Sad that all of the people who died were swept under the rug. There wasnt a big settlement. White star was outta business shortly after titanic sank. And ismay killed himself. He knew that the victims would continue to haunt him. Sad thing is any engineer could glance at the blueprint and tell that she would sink. Water tight doors needed to be actuality water tight
I hope that you enjoy the film and thank you for watching.

As good as Cameron's version of Titanic was, they should've given Kathy Bates a badass moment in the lifeboat like Molly did in this movie.
This is by far superior than the 1997 flick
How???
Agreed! Much better. No nudity.
I somehow like it better than the Cameron movie too

The collision with the iceberg is way better than james Camerons movie
Can you explain why?
Everything is better than in the Cameron pic.
A lot of the survivors were alive during the release of this film
And it would be no fewer than 51 more years until the last one Eliza Gladys "Millvina" Dean passed away

Hi John, unfortunately, the SOS Titanic is not allowed on RUclips.
So far it's exactly what the book says.
White Star didn't launch their ships with champagne.
Cpt Rostron probably never thought the Titanic was unsinkable
1:03:51... I thought Titanic did not have binoculars. The 2 men acting as spotters in the crow's nest didn't see the iceberg until it was too late.
Binocs are supposedly good for inspecting things not spotting them. At any instance Fleet had no doubts about that bump on the horizon.
