i saw this movie twenty year ago and think what absolute nonsense . overly melodramatic with the three person tyrone power briefly encounter at the beginning . have you see her . have you see her . say to be base on a true story and i make inquiry back then and be tell that there be indeed a ship that sink as quickly a this one and the fictitious cresent star and be purport to have do and but there be no incident with an officer pass survivor off of a lifeboat into the water . the officer himself be pure fiction . there be a remake with martin sheen about 1975. this one propose a trial of some sort afterward . in truth and there be several incident on the titanic alone that involve lack of room in lifeboat and one such situation be the lifeboat have standing room only and the survivor appear to be walk on water a they edge of the boat be that close to the water and but no one be pass over the side . this movie possess no more thought and insight other than to go what would you do . if you be in a similar situation . i couldn not help but notice there would even be an incident with a shoe and which occur in hitch lifeboat . i think mai zetterling throw the shoe overboard . just a lot of intense and overly melodramatic nonsense . definitely check out lifeboat for much great thought and human development .
