Film Adaptation
The sinking of the Britannic was dramatised in a 2000 film of the same name that featured Edward Atterton, Amanda Ryan and Jacqueline Bisset. The film took several liberties with the events aboard the vessel, depicting the sinking as being caused by an onboard saboteur rather than a naval mine.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or adaptation:
“All the old supports going, gone, this man reaches out a hand to steady himself on a ledge of rough brick that is warm in the sun: his hand feeds him messages of solidity, but his mind messages of destruction, for this breathing substance, made of earth, will be a dance of atoms, he knows it, his intelligence tells him so: there will soon be war, he is in the middle of war, where he stands will be a waste, mounds of rubble, and this solid earthy substance will be a film of dust on ruins.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
