An excellent film, it was called A Night to Remember. Far better than the modern day trash with Kate and Leonardo. I met the director of A Night to Remember in Antigua a few years back.

If that happened, and it was calculated that the weight of water into the damaged sections would cause her to tip so that subsequent sections flooded, would it have been possible to hole the other end of the ship to provide a counterbalance and stop the tipping action that flooded the rest of the ship?

So the ship is sinking, and you make another hole at the other end of the ship to stop it sinking ?

Being a bit of a Titanic "anorak" I wish James Cameron had done a remake of "A Night To Remember" with the modern effects available to him rather than base it round a particularly improbable love story.
You do know of course that the "Titanic" didn't sink - there is a lot on the interntet and Wikipedia that proves it - watch this it is only 45'

I tell you what, other than the love story Cameron did appear to be influenced by a huge amount from A Night to Remember, some of the scenes incredibly alike, the angle of shots, composition etc. Like you say, drop the love story and it is a remake.

I found this comparison. Ignoring the fact the site is by some gun totting American red neck, watch from 3mins onward and he does a pretty good job of showing like for like scenes through the film, at the very least demonstrating that Cameron used A Night to Remember as a basis for his whole production.

A night to remember still makes me shed a tear. Especially the Old steward who finds a child who's lost him mum and is crying in a doorway. He gives up his own chance to escape to stop and cuddle the little boy as the ship is rising up at the stern and protect him from the trampling feet of the passengers running up the deck.
It is a little scene that would be missed by many but something about him shouting " mind this child" and whispering that his mummy will be along in a minute to the boy leaves me deeply moved.
Cameron's effort on the other hand is just shit.

My boyhood hero Kenneth "Kenny" More...aah. Blotted his Hollywood copybook by getting drunk at a party to celebrate the start of filming of "The Guns Of Navarone" where he had been cast in the star role.
Was given the famous dictum "You'll never work in films again" and struggled thereafter. If you ever see the film on TV, imagine David Niven as Kenneth More, they were good mates and I think Niven plays the part as "Kenny" would have done.
But if he hadn't lost the plot as a film actor, no legendary "Forsyte Saga". And that part was written for him to play.. shamefully in black and white though as the BBC was trying to cut costs.

They is a clip where at 2/40 (American voice-over) where in the 1958 verison and it's the same one a young radio officer just about to turn-in,but as you would do just put the 'phones' on to listern to whats happening and he picks up the Titanic,the rest is history.

Saw the Titanic exhibition in Las Vegas many years back and sneaked a stroke of the massive chunk they have. Must admit tears welled up. Think they have moved that chunk to Belfast now haven't they.
Will look for the old film as it looks good, especially remastered.
