This obscure German film retells real story of the British ocean liner that satisfied an awful destiny. Ernst Fritz Fürbringer plays the head of state of the White Star Line, that unwisely pressed the Titanic's captain (Otto Wernicke) to make the swiftest feasible going across to New york city. Surprisingly, director Herbert Selpin was detained by the Gestapo throughout this film's manufacturing, and also German censors outlawed the movie for its scenes of panic as well as terror.
