Review
Harrowing account of the sinking of Howard Hughes' (The Aviator) grand folly, the three billion ton passenger liner Titantic in the seas off of Antartica. In somber black and white the movie recounts the precipitating moment that led the U.S. to enter World War One after the dastardly (but brilliant) nazi plan to seed the Atlantic ocean with deadly icebergs. A tragedy that all of us can only try to forget. Well worth your time.
