The creaking noises during the sinking were created by the set as it was winched up to create the tilting deck effect. The microphones picked up the noises. Roy Ward Baker thought they added a huge amount of realism, as they sounded like the groaning noises a sinking ship would make, so he kept them in.
It wasn't until 1985, when the wreckage of the Titanic was discovered, that they found out the ship had split in two while sinking in 1912. In this film, the Titanic does not split in two, but goes down in one piece.
Lawrence Beesley, a survivor from second class, was on the set during filming. At one point, when the sinking was being filmed, he attempted to enter the scene and, perhaps symbolically, "go down" with the ship. Director Roy Ward Baker didn't allow this, as it would have been a union violation, which could have closed down production.
After the ship leaves Southampton and the caption "April 14" is seen, the shots of the Titanic and the passengers on deck were taken from Titanic (1943), a Nazi propaganda film.
Each page of the script was marked with the angle of the ship's deck at that point in its descent, to maintain accuracy and continuity when scenes were shot out of order.
"Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown: Leadville Johnny, they call him. And he was the best golderned gold miner in Colorado! Fifteen I was when I married him. First Class Passenger: Really? [in deep upper-class British accent] Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown: Uh-hmm. And he didn't have a cent. Well, three months later later he struck it rich and we was millionaires. Do you know what he did? First Class Passenger: No? Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown: He built me a house and he had silver dollars cemented all over the floors of every room! First Class Passenger: I say, how very tiresome for you!"
"Capt. Arthur Rostron: [Captain Rostron is urging his Chief Engineer to give him all the speed possible as they race to the rescue] Cut your heating and hot water. Cut anything you like. But I've *got* to have every ounce of steam you can give me."
