FILM NOTES

Titanic was produced by Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox and released in December 1997. Directed by James Cameron, the film became the highest-grossing motion picture of its time and won eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It remains a defining work of 1990s Hollywood filmmaking, combining large-scale practical production with emerging digital effects to tell a story set against the 1912 maritime disaster.

This cell, titled Jack Dawson and Danny Nucci, captures three frames from the celebrated bow sequence aboard the Titanic. Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson appears with fist raised against an open blue sky, with Danny Nucci as Fabrizio De Rossi positioned below him. The third frame is partially cropped at the strip's edge, offering a natural artifact of the original 35mm print.
