Beasley's book came out in June only two months after the real disaster. So his recollections, such as getting into a lifeboat with his pajamas on, was still quite fresh and not diluted by forty or fifty years of time. The film makers shot the picture in a sort of muted colors. The 3rd Class gets the good treatment in this film. Also the Phun Boats that marketed over priced Irish goods to wealthy ocean liner passengers.
Warner as a very thoughtful Lawrence Beasley. Exterior shots of the Queen Mary in Long Bch are obvious but it never hampens the story. It's just good film making to make the QM look like the Titanic.
The soundtrack is excellent, mixed with elegant tunes from the period, from Victor Herbert to Scott Joplin as well as the film's original score. Characters are included in this film that are left out in others ie: Leigh Goodwin, the two boot cleaners, Alvie the elevator boy, 1st Class stewardess Violet Jessop, Fred Barrett, Rene Harris etc. The full uncut version with Carpathia rescue at beginning can run on t. This is the version I'd recommend not the cut 90 min home vid version.
There are long scenes of passengers going about their business like the elderly lady just sitting in her deck chair enjoying the excitement.
This most likely was 1st Class passenger Emily Ryerson because the actress is made up to look just like a photo of Ryerson. There's no ship shown breaking in half as this was and before the wreck of the real ship was found. But the producers couldn't have been far off from the truth the way it is presented her.
Discrepancies abound as in every Titanic film. Chief Officer,who drowned, is accurately shown writing a letter to his sister which he did but the film shows him writing words that 1st Officer Lighttoller had written in his own account of the sinking years later.
