Thanks David, I only saw a pic once but wasn't aware the damage was so extensive. It must have cost them a fortune to get this ship back into shape again

Shots from this film are in my Bremen/Europa book (cost me an arm, a leg and part of my right ear).

Usually we just see aerial views, which fail to show the extent of the damage.

As much as I like Europa over Liberte', I certainly give a nod to the French for saving her.

Sadly by the time Europa/Liberte was raised(for the second time in her life!), the French gave up on the nearby wreck of the beautiful Paris(herself sank twice!).
But Europa/Bremen were the prototype for modern oceanliners and always looked fantastic!
Bremen even crossed the Panama canal!
Liberte also starred in movies with the recently departed Jane Russell(French Line, Gentlemen prefers blondes).

No she was not in Gentlemen Prefesr Blonds, the ship used was a fantasy French Line liner I believe name Ile d' Paris. The ship was based on the Titanic model used in the 1953 movie Titanic with Barbara Stanwyck. They even used part of the interiors and mixed them with new modern interior sets. There was a pré war New York arrival shot in color displaying the Conta di Savoya.

There was a shot of here sailing in New york harbor in the opening of another Marilyn Monroe movie How To Marry a Millionaire.

Greetings Ben.

I think ssLEWIS may have been referring to a movie called THE FRENCH LINE with Jane Russell. I'm not certain, but it's possible.

Liberte was played a part in the film 'Sabrina' with Bill Holden and Audrey Hepburn.

It was the 'French Line' which was a pretty bad film w/the wonderful late great Jane Russell.
