This video is great because it tracks a little known story of a 90-year-old lady who finds a film tin containing some rare film of the Titanic. It is only a half hour long, but it is a must have for any serious Titanic researcher.

It is very haunting to see the only moving pictures of the Titanic. The interview with the survivor, however, was not very interesting, mainly because the audio makes it sound like she is mumbling, and the words are difficult to understand. Also, the viewer needs to be aware that not all of the footage from the period is about the Titanic, or is exclusive to this video, even though it is interesting. That said, the scenes of the Titanic are an important piece of history, and I'm glad I saw it.

I'm fascinated with all aspects of the Titanic which is why I rented this video. There was no new information on this film that I didn't already know. The film is 30 minutes long and to summarize it, an old English lady finds a film canister in her shed that contained live pictures of the Titanic. That's all. No passenger stories, no interesting tidbits, nuttin'.
Pass on this.

A must-see for any Titanic fan/historian. The only existing film footage of the actual Titanic. Very interesting stories also.
