Titanic on Film: Titanic (1953)

About this episode

I watched 1953's Titanic and it cracked open a wider discussion of class and gender than I even imagined. Join me as I examine Hollywood's Cinemascope imagining of the sinking, starring Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, and Robert Wagner. It's a wild ride!

For a fantastic in-depth look at the cultural and political history of Titanic and its interpretations on film, in literature, and in music, I highly recommend Steven Biel's Down with the Old Canoe: A Cultural History of the Titanic Disaster.
