I must admit that I am constantly surprised how the legend of the Titanic endures. I’m also surprised how many books, films, TV shows, even a Broadway musical etc have been made about her. The story seems to transcend the generations.
After all it’s not a very complex story, is it?: “Big ship sink on maiden voyage – terrible loss of life”.
Even James Cameron had to invent a love story to give his movie a plot! Mind you, I do love the special effects in the film – she seems almost real!

Trivia: Did you know that the Movie, rather than dissuade people from taking a cruise, increased bookings
Comments on all the above please...

Yes several people every day did the pose (among other things which I will not mention). I am only surprised that they did not realise that the whole ship could see them on their television!

Malcolm, are you talking about Titanic or the delectable Kate Winslet?
Paddy.
I've particularly posted this picture so Liner fans can admire the interesting use of the 'fill in' lighting effect and 'depth of field' used by the photographer.

That they only built one side of the ship for the movie set?
To give the appearance of the opposite side they mirror-imaged(flipped) the film!
Every actor had two identical costumes - one with buttons on the right and one with buttons on the left. The cabin boys had two hats one said 'White Star' the other 'rats etihw'. The car on the dock side was available in right and left hand drive. The signs on the building were substituted with flipped one when required. Even the mens partings were reversed.
"Delectable." Paddy, I wholeheartedly agree. Absolutely delicious! (Don't let my wife hear about this! )
