“Nothing On Earth Could Come Between Them.”
“Titanic” plays almost like a historical biography and is like a work of art, a true epic. Like most history novels, we know the ending, but it doesn’t take away from the wonderful treats that can be found in this picture. Certain aspects of this film were Academy Award material including costuming, sound, cintematography, and editing and it’s one of these iconic cinematic scenes – Rose (Winslet) & Jack (DiCaprio) ‘flying’ at the bow of the Titanic that features in this original one-sheet created for the 25th Anniversary release in 2023 when it screened in a limited number of cinemas for Valentine’s weekend only. Designed by Gravillis, this style is particularly scarce. Investment grade quality for an example that was originally rolled and displays superbly, thanks not only to the imagery but the hi-gloss finish – it really is an impressive film poster that represents a great piece of cinematic movie memorabilia from the movie that was the first gross over a billion dollars at the box-office.
Trivia: The scenes set in 1912, i.e. the whole movie except the present-day scenes and the opening and ending credits, have a total length of two hours and forty minutes, the exact time it took for Titanic to sink. Also, the collision with the iceberg reportedly lasted 37 seconds, which is how long the collision scene is in the movie.

“84 years later, a 100 year-old woman named Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story to her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine, Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich on the Keldysh about her life set in April 10th 1912, on a ship called Titanic when young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Meanwhile, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson and his best friend Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets to the ship in a game. And she explains the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning.”
James Cameron‘s “Titanic“ shares a similar motto to Marmite, “you either love it or hate it”, I for one love this film, yes I know it’s got a drawn out romance story, but there’s just something about the 3-hour fill of the film that makes its such a spectacularly emotional and beautiful movie. I saw this a lot when I was growing up, it is truly a powerfully resonant and visually stunning movie of epic proportions. Personally I favour the British original “A Night to Remember”, but this is a pretty close contender. Winner of eleven Academy Awards (Oscars), James Cameron”s romantic-disaster epic is a triumph of cinema that boasts perfect chemistry between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as the lovers Rose & Jack bound for tragedy. Many people disregard this film nowadays solely because it’s become the most popular film ever made alongside Cameron’s other epic “Avatar”, and whilst “Titanic“is definitely not one of my favourite films, it’s just so powerfully amazing and no doubt at all it has once brought a tear to everyone’s eyes. The main aspect I love in this film is James Horner‘s haunting score that was a key ingredient in the film’s success. Nonetheless, “Titanic“ is a modern classic and a beautifully spectacular film that will live on.

Some sets have a title card, which contains credits and artwork, essentially a mini-poster. The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
