So no one knows which one for sure? Which movie used the Bethany tune and which used the other tune? I just saw "A Night to Remember" and was especially interested to see the young violinist, as "Brad Meltzer's Lost History" recently did a lengthy segment on him. He appeared, but that scene focused on a player of a larger instrument (bass viol? cello?) He sang beautifully but to our great disappointment used what we considered the wrong tune! James Cameron's "Titanic" film focused on the violin, using the tune we were used to, with no one singing. If it wasn't the last one played, is it documented to have been played or sung on the Titanic at all? Thanks for any clarification.
