The SS ANTONIA GRAZA in the play has a prototype ship: SS ANDREA DORIA

Unfortunately, SS ANDREA DORIA rested on the bottom of the sea after a collision in the fog in 1956. She is the pride of Italian shipping after World War II, with brand-new technology (as a civil ship she uses gas turbines), and luxurious decoration (even the faucets in the low-level cabins are carved). It's a pity that the fog took her away

Andrea Doria does not have the outdoor restaurant and dance floor in the movie

[It stands to reason that the traditional ocean liner of the last century (ocean liner, a means of transportation that is used to transport passengers and departs regularly at a certain time. Different from the cruise ship used for sightseeing now) will not be arranged near the bow Passenger activity area. The ever-changing ocean surface cannot always be calm, and the passenger area is likely to be hit by the waves. This is why the bows of ocean-going cruise ships are very high, and they are also equipped with wave barriers. An unfortunate example is the Michelangelo of the Italian shipping in the 1960s, which was destroyed by an extremely rare huge wave, which destroyed part of the first-class cabin at the front of the ship, causing many injuries and deaths; the mad dog wave encountered by Queen Mary]

It can be seen that SS ANDREA DORIA has two cranes and two cargo covers on the front deck, and there is no passenger activity area (promenade deck, outdoor restaurant, etc.)

The opening song Senza Fine is sung by Monica Mancini (the daughter of Henry Mancini)

Lady In Red on the stage is also the most famous role of this Francesca (actress's real name).

There is a tribute to the Shining in the film:

①Blood gushing from the swimming pool of the first class cabin

(The elevator that Tony saw when he was using shinning in the hotel)

②The grand scene of the first-class ballroom reappeared

(The Shining gold room dance party)

③Hei was seduced and fell into the abandoned elevator shaft, and the singer in red turned her head and turned into a carrion

(The rotten grandmother in the Shining room 237, who rotted after kissing the male protagonist)

There is also a little piercing lens

The radar showed that the Graza was directly in front of the tug
