Taylor & Francis/Routledge, 2009. p. 107. . . Following the introduction of sound films, leading film companies attempted to cater to different markets by producing multiple-language versions of their films. 'Atlantic' was released in four versions: English, French, German and silent, for cinemas not yet converted to the new format. The film was the first fully talking film to be released in Germany, where it was a major hit. It is based on the play 'The Berg' by Ernest Raymond which itself was based on the Titanic disaster.
