Atlantic (1929) (also known as Titanic: Disaster in the Atlantic for its home video release) is an all-talking sound British drama film directed and produced by Ewald André Dupont and starring Franklin Dyall and Madeleine Carroll.[2] Originally, two versions were made: the English and German-language version Atlantik were shot simultaneously. Subsequently, the production of a French version (Atlantis) began in spring 1930 using different footage and partially an altered storyline with a different director.[3][4] The fourth version was released as a silent film. The story was taken from the West End play The Berg by Ernest Raymond. It was one of the most expensive films of 1929.[5]
