Behind the Scenes: Scene Facts: First Glance


  1. The dogs that were walked past Tommy Ryan and Jack were chosen to represent dogs that were on the Titanic. John Jacob Astor owned an Airedale called "Kitty" and the French Bulldog was a champion show dog called "Gamin de Pycombe".

  2. The large amount of dogs on the ship was due to a dog show that was to take place on Monday, April 15th on the ship.

  3. Jack's drawing of Cora Cartmell and her father Bert was drawn by James Cameron.

  4. Rose is positioned higher than and opposite of Jack, symbolizing the class difference. The characters are diametrically opposed - a first class woman had the greatest chance of surviving the sinking, a third class male the least.

  5. Tommy Ryan was written as "a voice for the Irish emigrants."

  6. Rose going out during the day without a hat would have been a faux pas during this time period for all ladies wore their hats during the daytime. Rose's original costume design for this scene included a dark-colored, wide-brimmed hat with a flurry of small red flowers around it. She does not have a hat in this scene for a reason, however. The original script was written to have Rose throw her hat overboard, her first in the symbolic shedding of her clothing throughout the movie. But to Cameron's horror, the hat that was designed for Rose looked like, according to Winslet, "a f***ing pizza." After a few attempts to redesign the hat, Cameron decided to let Rose go without.
