Auction History Result ATLANTIC English 6sh 1929  Lease from Hershenson/Allen ArchiveAn Original Vintage English Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh) (Learn More) Atlantic, the 1929 E.A. Dupont (Ewald Andre Dupont) English seafaring luxury ocean liner disaster action thriller ("The leviathan of all 'Talkies'"; "E.A. Dupont's masterpiece with the strongest cast ever assembled in any picture"; "Read these press opinions"; "From the play 'The Berg' by Ernest Raymond"; about the sinking of the Titanic, but likely because they had a somewhat limited budget, the movie ends as the ship is sinking, which was surely somewhat disappointing to the audiences viewing it, but on the other hand, this was just 17 years after the disaster, and it might have been thought to be bad taste to show the actual sinking, since many of the relatives were still alive) starring Franklin Dyall, Donald Calthrop, Madeleine Carroll, Ellaline Terriss, John Longden, John Stuart, Monty Banks, D.A. Clarke-Smith, Sydney Lynn, Joan Barry, Helen Haye, Francis Lister, and Arthur Hardy. Note that this was an English version of the story made by British International Pictures. This movie had an English version, a French version (titled "Atlantis" and released in 1930 starring Maxime Desjardins and Alice Field), and the German version (titled "Atlantik" and starring Fritz Kortner and Elsa Wagner). Universal did the same thing with "Dracula" in 1931. They filmed the movie twice, once in English, and once in Spanish, with two entirely different casts.
