A spectacular depiction of the Titanic’s disastrous voyage, this anti-British propaganda film was banned by Goebbels in Germany to avoid a panic. The film presents the stories of many of the passengers, including the British ship owner whose greed is responsible for the disaster and the ship’s German first officer, who tries to forestall it. Scenes of the sinking were used uncredited in the 1958 British film, A Night to Remember.
