Amazing. I was not aware of the 1943 German film and I have been a Titanic buff since I first saw the 1953 version. I read A Night to Remember in high school and later learned of the 1929 film which did not even refer to the Titanic by name.

No one on this thread has mentioned the 1978 made for TV film “S.O.S. Titanic”. It wasn’t that bad if you can forget it was filmed on board the Queen Mary in Los Angeles harbor, a vessel launched nearly twenty years after Titanic.

How ironic that the one of Titanic’s sister ships that survived, the Olympic, would wind up being broken up for scrap in 1935, victim not of icebergs or torpedoes, but of the Great Depression. Saw a photo of Olympic being towed to the scrapyard, reduced to a sad rustbucket that was once a great ship. Her interior fittings however, survive in London hotels & pubs to this day.

I saw that film at that time. I remember that David Warner was in it and also in the 1997 version of TITANIC.
