I have been a fan of both leading players, but this film doesn't do either one any favor. The screen play is a conglomerate of three story lines, none of which get full treatment. It seems the writers couldn't decide if they were producing a comedy, a romance or a deep dark drama. Leo Carrillo exceeds any previous attempts at being a first class HAM with his elastic facial expressions; watching him is comedic reason enough to stay to the end. Speaking of the end, when the ship miraculously stays afloat one is reminded of Deus ex machina serves these writers well. One wonders why Titanic couldn't have such brilliant good fortune and stay stuck against the ice berg. Has there ever been a real example of such occurrence?
