Jan- I've not seen the film of which you speak, but will look into it tomorrow and, hopefully, get you an answer. So far the only SURVIVING vintage Lusitania film, exclusive of newsreels, of which I know (and I've conveniently forgotten the title but will send it in another post this evening) is one excerpted in the British documentary "Hollywood." You can see clips from it (fairly cheesy, at that) in the segment on World War 1 Hollywood. Right now I'm trying to track down Lusitania survivor Rita Jolivet's potboiler "Lest We Forget" in which the Lusitania plays a part. FYI Miss Jolivet was brought to Hollywood soon after the sinking as part of the disasterous "Famous Players In Famous Plays" effort in which studios brought established Broadway stars out west to give movies "tone" and "class" with predictably poor results. If remembered at all in film histories, she is generally grouped in with the embarrassing flops. That said, I've not found any of her films to study so I can't really say what was so WRONG......but, after viewing surviving stills, I can formulate some theories. Anyway, I'll get that Lusitania title to you ASAP. JIM Oh, and I think that the Lusitania might also figure in the much sought after lost film "The Kaiser: Beast of Berlin."
