Featured review
The idea of a 1913 full length feature film from Denmark intrigued me and I was pleasantly surprised. The melodrama records the events in the life of a somber, but sympathetic researcher, starting in Europe and ending in New York. The sinking of an ocean line, a la Titanic, is well done. The acting is restrained and the plot coherent and interesting. Recommended for silent movie fans.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTwo endings were shot: One happy and one sad - the latter for the Russian market.
- GoofsDuring the sinking of the "Roland", shots of the ship at an angle to the water are interspersed with those of water filling the cabins parallel to the ceilings.
- Alternate versionsNordisk Film had an alternative ending shot for the Russian market, since Russian culture prefers 'unhappy endings' over the western happy endings. In the alternative version, Dr. Kammacher dies of an heart attack right after he hears the news that his new love has died. Unfortunately for Nordisk Film, the writer of the novel, Gerhart Hauptmann had made it very clear in his contract that no changes to his story could be made. So Nordisk Film released the alternative version only in Siberia, hoping Hauptmann wouldn't find out.
