Summary: 5 Stars
Back in the mid-1990's, this documentary came out as a box set in VHS format and I just HAD TO HAVE IT, so I got it for Christmas from the woman I was married to at the time and I made it a point to watch it at least twice a year or whenever the urge hit me. Then when I got a DVD player in 2002 for Christmas, I found This DVD in the store, it was just sitting there and thought it was another knockoff documentary and wasn't about to spend any more money on Titanic Stuff that didn't shed any new light on the tragedy so I picked it up and to my delight, discovered it was the DVD version of the VHS box set I had at home so I scoffed it up and home I went with it and never looked at the VHS version again, as a matter of fact, I sold it for pittance to a friend of mine just to get it out of my VHS collection, which I had begun to shrink now that I could convert everything to DVD...ANYWAY, first thing I noticed about this presentation is that they edited it from 4 parts to 2 parts and the effort was quite seamless, you really can't tell where they did this and I was happy about that. aside from a tiny beef I have which I will get to in a minute, this, like the Titanic, was "A truly fine Job". The stories that the survivors tell, as well as the commentators, leave you with a lump in your throat if you have any emotions at all. To feel what those people felt that night must've been horrific being stuck out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with no ship underneath you and no help from anywhere in freezing water.
My one and only beef about this documentary and it's not about the documentary itself but the special feature: BEYOND TITANIC on the other disc, now if all of you are Titanic Fanaticsa like I am, you have just about every Documentary and movie made on this great ship so if you have TITANIC (1953) with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck, you have yet still another copy of BEYOND TITANIC, it's a small Beef but thought I would pass it on anyway.
I give this Documentary Five Stars and would highly reccomend it as the definitive documentary about The Titanic. It is sad to say that most of the survivors shown in this presentation have since passed away, the only last living survivor of The Titanic as of this writing is Millvina Dean, who has had to sell most of her Titanic Memorabilia to pay for medical expenses, poor lady.
Description of Titanic - The Complete Story
Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 02/26/2002 Run time: 300 minutes Rating: NrOf all the many documentaries that have been made about the Titanic disaster, this two-part, 192-minute film, produced in 1994 for the Arts & Entertainment network, remains the most thorough, authoritative, and fascinating chronicle of the Titanic tragedy. Written, produced, and directed by Melissa Jo Peltier and elegantly narrated by actor David McCallum, the film utilizes thorough research, archival films and documents, and expert testimony to span the entire history of the legendary S.S. Titanic. From blueprint design and construction in Ireland, to the ill-fated maiden voyage and the lasting legacy of Titanic's fateful sinking, no detail has been neglected in the film's meticulous description of events. Part 1, "The Death of a Dream," builds dramatic momentum to the ship's collision with an iceberg in the freezing North Atlantic, including detailed accounts of the agonizing two-hour sinking and the rescue of survivors. Part 2, "The Legend Lives On," explores the investigation into Titanic's sinking, the impact on later ship design and the dramatic rediscovery of Titanic's ghostly remains on the ocean floor. Parts 1 and 2 include abundant interviews with such noted Titanic authorities as Don Lynch and Ken Marschall (consultants on the blockbuster movie Titanic), and several Titanic survivors who have since passed away. The cumulative effect of this detailed film is a complete appreciation for the sheer irony, drama, and magnitude of the Titanic disaster. The James Cameron film was certainly entertaining, but this superior documentary proves that truth can be every bit as absorbing as fictionalized history. It's an essential addition to any Titanic buff's library. --Jeff Shannon
