Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 76/100 --
Not as big as James Cameron's computer-generated bonanza, but it's nonetheless impressive.

Rating: 4/5 --
Exciting, well-acted version of the infamous voyage
Kalamazoo Gazette
Titanic, the story of the great liner's first and only trip across the Atlantic, is a perfectly excellent picture, finely balanced between fact and fiction, stocked with plausible characters, working up quietly but strongly to its shattering climax.

...[A] story-and-screenplay Oscar winner...

Rating: B --
Though Stanwyck and Clifton Webb make for an unlikely married couple, this b/w Oscar-winning 1953 melodrama about the sinking of the famous liner is worth seeing.

...a good motion picture despite its shallow, often sentimental overtones.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
It's standard Hollywood stuff, but Webb and Stanwyck are both in fine form, adding moments of humanity and emotional truth to the otherwise stilted surroundings.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Determined to remove her family from the superficial, high society world in which her husband Richard (Clifton Webb) is engrossed, Julia Sturges (Barbara Stanwyck) boards the R.M.S. Titanic in England on its maiden voyage to America, along with her two children. Learning of her plans, however, Richard purchases a steerage ticket aboard the ship in hopes of reconciling with his family. But when fate, ice and an overzealous ship captain step in, the Sturges family faces an unimaginable challenge - the possibility of separation from one another forever. This classic, based on the true-life history of the famed ocean liner, remains one of the most poignant, well-crafted films of all time.
Product Description:
An unhappily married couple boards the Titanic, while one of their daughters falls in love with a boy from the underclass. But these problems seem small once the iceberg comes along. Academy Award Nominations: 2. Academy Awards: Best Story and Screenplay.
