• What really happened on the night the Titanic went down?
• Did the band play on as the ship was sinking?
• Were the third-class passengers locked below decks, unable to escape?

A Night To Remember
England 1958; director Roy Ward Baker
More of a docudrama than a conventional narrative, the affecting and beautifully made movie version of Walter Lord’s book stars Kenneth More as its stern-jawed hero, Second Officer Charles Lightoller.
Titanic
Germany 1943; director Herbert Selpin
This piece of overt Nazi propaganda, commissioned by Josef Goebbels at the height of World War II, called the disaster “an eternal condemnation of England’s quest for profit”.
Atlantic
England 1929; director Ewald André Dupont
The first talkie to tell the Titanic story – though pressure from the White Star Line forced them to change the name – was based on a play by Ernest Raymond, The Berg.
In Nacht Und Eis (In Night and Ice)
Germany 1912; director Mime Misu
By the time this dramatic silent movie was released in August 1912, footage of icebergs and the Titanic were so familiar that the trade papers were already saying “they don’t attract audiences any more”.
A Night to Remember
Walter Lord (1955)
A short but very gripping read, Lord’s bestseller focuses unerringly on the supreme tension of the Titanic’s final hours.
The Titanic: End of a Dream
Wyn Craig Wade (1979)
This compelling book treats the disaster from an entirely American standpoint, concentrating on the US Senate inquiry.
Down with the Old Canoe
Steven Biel (1996)
A ground-breaking and very enjoyable romp through the cultural history of the Titanic disaster.
Every Man for Himself
Beryl Bainbridge (1996)
The best fictionalized rendition of the Titanic saga; filling the ship with real and invented characters, Bainbridge tells a powerful story of star-crossed young love.
