    • Alternate versions
      The Allied approved censored version ran 80 minutes and omitted two scenes; one where the British officers make snide comments about Petersen's presence on board the "Titanic" and, more substantially, the entire epilogue where Officer Petersen condemns Bruce Ismay's actions during the inquiry into the sinking. The final inter-title that blames the disaster on British capitalism was also removed.

    A great depiction of the Titanic disaster
    In this spectacular depiction of the TITANIC's disastrous voyage , the stories of many passengers are told, including the British shipowner Ismael, whose greed is responsible for the disaster, and the ship's first officer – a fictive upright German – who tries to forestall it.

    Scenes of the sinking were used uncredited in the 1958 British film `A Night to Remember'. Directed by Herbert Selpin - who shortly after died in a Nazi prison – this film features a strong cast an some impressive visual effects.

    After seeing this film, Propaganda Minister Goebbles thought the scenes of mass panic were not appropriate viewing for Germans who were then being subjected to British bombing. So he allowed only foreign release, with the film premiering in Paris in 1943. Beginning in late 1949 Germans could see the film, but the Allis forbade the film to be shown in West Germany in 1950 because of its anti-British propaganda.
