On the production costs for his 1980 film "Raise the Titanic" producer #LewGrade famously quiped "it would be cheaper to lower the Atlantic"

They don't make 'em like they did in the late 60s and early 70s. Alexandra Bastedo as Sharron Macready, many a young lads first crush. Lake Geneva and the fountain. My first thought when I saw it for real.
