They spent almost $1.2 million on this film. That would equate to $20 million today. I am wondering what they spent the money on! This film has taken the mantle of "Worst Best Picture" from The Broadway Melody. The movie jumped from scene to scene quickly making it tough to follow. The movie also contained the first profanity thus far in a "Best Picture". I'm not sure why this film won the award. It was a terrible, boring movie that was a waste of time.

Joel

Favorite: I liked the scene that took place on the Titanic. That was the most dramatic part of the movie.

Least Favorite: These riders on horses keep showing up (symbolizing time marching on). It was a stupid waste of film to do that effect.

Callie

Favorite:  I like the cohesion between the beginning and the ending of the movie bookmarking the middle.

Least Favorite:  The overlay imaging!  It appears they just figured out how to do this and they had to keep doing to over and over again.
