Floating Palaces (1996)
A mostly good documentary

I found this documentary to be informative and learned much I did not know about ocean liner history. However I was rather disappointed by the fact that it was very obviously slanted twords Cunard and mentioned very little about other lines. For example, about 2 or 3 minutes was spent on the White Star liner Olympic, once the largest ship in the world and the first of the true "super-liners". Much time however was lavashed on the Cunard lines Lusitania, Mauretania and Aquitania. It is however still a well made documentary and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to learn about the era of the great ocean liners.
