TIL the first movie about the sinking of the Titanic premiered only 31 days after she sank, and was written by an actress who survived the sinking, who also starred in it. She later had a nervous breakdown and never acted again.
It’s perhaps not the most historically important film, but it’s importance seem more than the cost would have been of preserving a few prints in different places.
