David Warner also appeared in Time Bandits (1981) (which features a scene aboard the Titanic) and James Cameron's Titanic (1997).
This is the first feature length Titanic movie made in color.
Many scenes were filmed on-board, or around, the famous R.M.S. Queen Mary.
Re-edit of the two hour and twenty minute television movie, this is the version that was released theatrically in some countries, and was widely available on DVD. The original television version (along with the widely seen theatrical cut) was officially released onto Blu-ray/DVD home media on October 13, 2020 by Kino Lorber.
This movie was the first of two Titanic movies about the R.M.S. Titanic in less than a year, this movie debuting eleven months before Raise the Titanic (1980).
