From Library Journal
Another in the increasingly crowded field of Titanic films, this short piece does a good job of telling the now familiar story, from the early rivalry between Cunard and the White Star Line that prompted the construction of the Titanic and her sister ships to capture the competitive and lucrative North Atlantic trade through the plans, construction, launch, maiden voyage, and her tragic sinking. Personal interviews, archival photos and footage, and an informative narration tell the story. One shortcoming is the use of unattributed photos and footage of ships other than Titanic: it moves the story along but doesn't add to the accuracy. Still, this is a good choice for public libraries that must fill the hot demand for this topic and for those that can't afford the much better four-cassette A&E presentation The Titanic (1994. ISBN 1-56501-345-X).?Tom Budlong, Atlanta-Fulton P.L.
