“James Cameron's epic retold the story of the great maritime disaster and made mega-stars of both its leads, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Their upstairs-downstairs romance transported the audience to another world and time via spectacular sweeping scenes in the bow of the ship and beyond.”
Released in 1997 by Paramount and 20th Century Fox, Titanic became one of the defining cinematic events of the decade, dominating box office records worldwide and sweeping the Academy Awards. Directed by James Cameron, the film paired historical spectacle with a sweeping romance, cementing itself as a touchstone of 1990s studio filmmaking and a perennial favorite among collectors of movie memorabilia.
This cell marks the introduction of the film itself, the frames where the story announces its name and sets the stage for Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. Title cards hold a particular appeal for collectors, as they represent the threshold moment before narrative begins, a piece of film history untouched by later events. For a story built on the pairing of these two central figures, a card bearing their presence at the outset carries symbolic weight, standing in for the entire journey the audience is about to take.
Consistent with a 35mm theatrical release print of Titanic (1997).
