Transatlantic
US (1931): Comedy/Drama
This was the first talkie to extensively observe shipboard life, and 1997's Titanic owes everything to it. The plot is forgettable, but what is not are the sets. The art direction was extensive in creating vast interiors of an ocean liner, right down to the bowels of the engine rooms, and a chase for a fugitive near the end of the film runs the gamut through them all. The art direction deservedly won an Oscar®. (Arne Andersen, IMDb)
