Forget about blue necklaces, ships splitting in two and Celine Dion songs.
Of course, this is not the first version of the story of the Titanic. It has been the subject of movies since the silent era, making appearances as important settings and being mentioned as part of history to reflect the passage of time. The passage on this maiden voyage focuses on a troubled American family who has been traveling abroad for years-estranged parents, a daughter caught up in European society who is slowly becoming a pretentious snob, and a young son so devoted to the man he assumes is his father. The battling parents are Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb, both admittedly not nice people, but Stanwyck’s character is, even if she has a bombshell to dump on the uppity Webb that will rock his world just as much as the collision of the Titanic with the iceberg.

Having kicked off the start of that popular film genre known as film noir, Stanwyck (as Phyllis Diedrickson in “Double Indemnity”) and Webb (as Waldo Lydecker in “Laura”) went toe to toe in 1944 for who was the greatest film villain of the year. Together, they seem an odd couple. He’s rather prissy (as always), with his nose so high in the air that he can smell the atmosphere on the moon, so determined to raise his children among the elite of European society that he’s furious that Stanwyck (whom he considers a failed Pygmallion like project) would take them away from him.

Of the two children, Audrey Dalton’s 18 year old daughter is the most like him-determined to remain among the elite rather than return to her mother’s home town in Michigan. She cruelly announces to her mother that upon their arrival in New York, she will return to Europe with her father. Pre-teen Harper Carter (greatly used in the film but unbilled!) is closest in easy-going manner to his mother but greatly adores his father. When Stanwyck and Webb bring out the weapons in their battle for the children, Stanwyck’s dagger inflicts the greatest wound, leaving the usually ready to fight Webb standing there with invisible egg on his face.

Among the others on the ship is a handsome college athlete (Robert Wagner) who falls for Dalton in spite of her initial rudeness to him. A scene between Wagner and Stanwyck actually has more heat between them then their on-screen partners which reflects why in real life the two of them were involved in a heated affair. It is obvious even with a name change that Thelma Ritter is playing a character based upon Molly Brown. Richard Basehart gives an intense performance as a troubled priest defrocked for alcoholism. Veteran leading man Brian Aherne is dignified as the ship’s captain.

Real-life Titanic passengers Isadore and Ida Strauss, John Jacob and Madeline Astor, and Benjamin Guggenheim are also seen in snippets. William Johnstone, the wise Judge Lowell of “As the World Turns”, is very elegant in his few moments on screen, much like Eric Braeden (the ruthless Victor Newman of “The Young and the Restless”) was in the 1997 epic version. Allyn Joslyn brings total disgust to the role of his social climbing passenger who hangs onto Johnstone’s every word and seems ready to shine (or kiss) his boots at any moment. Try not to hold back in the scene where Ida Strauss makes her determination to stay with her husband public. It is a heart-breaker.

Barbara Stanwyck said that when she was filming the scene on the lifeboat that with the life jacket on and the set freezing cold, she began to emotionally feel the pain of what had happened 40 years before. The character at this time is dealing with a tragic acknowledgment in regards to one of her children, just having had an emotional farewell with a husband whom up until now she has come to think she despised. Every version of the this film has been successful in bringing in some new element, even the 1997 T.V. mini-series and the much overrated Broadway musical of the same year. Frankly, I would like to see the story involving the Astors and the Strausses dramatized for historical purposes. But in the end, it is the tragedy of the lives who were lost that counts and the emotional impact it had on the people who witnessed it. Lucky to survive yes, but certainly a memory that would remain a nightmare. Neerer my God to thee, indeed.
