    Titanic on Film: Titanic (1953)

    Titanic on Film: Titanic (1953)

    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.

    When Titanic sunk in April of 1912, very few would believe that people would talking about it in 100 years. 109 years on from the ill-fated maiden voyage, the story of the Titanic continues to fascinate the world over. Today, we'll take a look at one of the earliest big-budget studio films to tackle the Titanic disaster. The 1953 film titled Titanic was produced by 20th Century Fox and starred Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Audrey Dalton, and a very young Robert Wagner. The film follows a woman named Julia Sturges who boards Titanic in an effort to take her kids to America to live a more grounded life instead of the wealthy first class life they were living in Europe. At the last second, her husband Richard discovers the plan and boards Titanic in an effort to talk her out of it. Their strained relationship will be tested throughout the entire voyage. Secrets will be revealed. Loyalties will be tested. Love will blossom. How will it all fare when the ship hits its destined iceberg?

    Although not the most historically accurate re-telling of the Titanic disaster, the 1953 film remains an important part of the Titanic story as it was the first major American made film about the disaster, and is a must see for any Titanic history buff.

    ‘Double Indemnity’ with ‘Lingua Franca’ Director Isabel Sandoval

    ‘Double Indemnity’ with ‘Lingua Franca’ Director Isabel Sandoval

    We are joined by a truly magnetic and unique voice in filmmaking, director/writer/actor Isabel Sandoval. She calls in from New York to discuss the film noir classic, Double Indemnity. Isabel has so much to cover on the craft of filmmaking. She discusses the power of the human face as a tool for storytelling, and why it so often leaves dialogue superfluous. She and April dissect Isabel’s latest film, Lingua Franca, and why all of her film’s center around women. Isabel also reveals her feelings on the current state of Filipino cinema, and why she wants to stay away from her films being labeled “poverty porn.” And lastly, Isabel shares her ultimate goal for her career; for her films to be considered their own film genre.

    You can watch Lingua Franca on Netflix now.

    Double Indemnity

    Episode 3 of Insurable Interest reviews Double Indemnity (1944) from an insurance point of view. Times have changed, but not that much; murder is still murder, and putting ketchup on a hot dog is still totally unacceptable.

    Where to watch Double Indemnity:

    The Run-down on Double Indemnity:

    Somewhat surprisingly, I don't think there are any insured losses in this entire film.
