Unhappily married and uncomfortable with life among the British upper crust, Julia Sturges takes her two children and boards the Titanic for America.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker

Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
This 1953 version of the 1912 sea tragedy may not have the spectacular special effects that enhanced the 1997 James Cameron movie, but it is still an excellent film with strong performances by an top cast, headed by Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Wagner and Thelma Ritter.
Determined to remove her family from the superficial European high society world in which her husband (Webb) is engrossed, Stanwyck takes her son and daughter back to America, booking passage on the Titanic. Webb follows to retrieve his family, only to learn a shocking truth before the disaster occurs.
The film won the Oscar for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay, and is directed by Jean Negulesco.
The DVD, which is part of the Fox "Studio Classics" series, contains audio commentary by film critic Richard Shickel, Robert Wagner and others, and also has a splendid 2-hour documentary, BEYOND TITANIC.
