The 1950's other titanic film is the 1953 fox feature, simply titled "Titanic" the film is a rough and loose telling of the famed ships story. At only 90 minutes long brevity is the films greatest strength, never allowing itself to outstay its' welcome. Compared to 1958's A Night To Remember the film is fairly weak and far less accurate, however the special effects are still fairly good and provide a nice look at cutting edge 50's appeal. The disk itself is reasonable, oddly the films menu uses a cutout of the 97 Titanic sinking and it features 2 nice commentary tracks, but lacks the more exhaustive special effects such as the documentary that graced the previous dvd release. The picture quality is mixed, though very clean and with a natural grain look and structure, the print looks to be the same master as the dvd release and isn't overly sharp and lacks the detail that might be expected from a B&W blu ray release, especially compared to ANTR. However, it's clean, reasonably detailed and a step up from the dvd. If you enjoy the film, it's well worth the £10 price tag.
