What happens
Atlantic (also known as Titanic: Disaster in the Atlantic for its home video release) is a British all-talking sound drama film from 1929 directed and produced by Ewald André Dupont and starring Franklin Dyall and Madeleine Carroll. Originally, two versions were made: the English and German-language version Atlantik were shot simultaneously. Subsequently, the production of a French version (Atlantis) began in spring 1930 using different footage and partially an altered storyline with a different director. The fourth version was released as a silent film. The story was taken from the West End play The Berg by Ernest Raymond. It was one of the most expensive films of 1929. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
