Atlantis

A biologist with a wife in an asylum follows a dancer across the Atlantic, the liner goes down, and he survives into a different life. Gerhart Hauptmann had written the sinking before the Titanic sank, and August Blom filmed it for Nordisk a year after, at about two hours, with Olaf Fønss as the doctor and the lifeboats staged at full size. Danish cinema at its longest and most expensive, treating a novel as a novel. 1913.
