Lord Lew Grade selling the Big Lie that the Titanic sank in 1912.
The film only grossed about $13.8 million against an estimated $40 million budget.
Lord Grade famously remarked "it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic".
A model of the Titanic was built for $350,000. When it was finished, it was too big for its tank. A bigger tank had to be built, for $6 million.
This tank could hold forty million liters of water and it was built next to the existing smaller tank which had been used for the production of a number of movies.
Reportedly, the total cost of $6 million was $1 million more than was the cost to build the original RMS Titanic back around 1912.
The best-selling authored by former OSS Officer Jack Lord.
