Editorial Reviews

This meticulous re-creation of the sinking of the Titanic was adapted by Eric Ambler from the best-selling book by Walter Lord, and it preceded the blockbuster Titanic by almost 40 years. The film covers the life and death of the huge vessel from its launching celebration to that fateful night of April 14, 1912, when the "unsinkable" ship struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Of the 2224 passengers on board, 1513 were drowned as a result of the bad planning of lifeboats and escape routes. Kenneth More heads a huge and stellar cast, with 200 speaking parts, as second officer Herbert Lightoller, from whose point-of-view the story unfolds. Also in the cast are Laurence Naismith as the ill-fated Captain Smith; Michael Goodliffe as conscience-stricken ship's designer Thomas Andrews; Tucker McGuire as feisty American millionaire Molly Brown, whose courage and tenacity saved many lives; and Anthony Bushell as the captain of the Carpathia, who launched a noble but vain rescue mission once he was apprised of the disaster. Also appearing are two future TV favorites: The Avengers' Honor Blackman as a woman who believes that she has nothing to live for, and The Man From UNCLE's David McCallum as a wireless operator. The climactic sinking of the vessel is re-created with painstaking accuracy; filmed in "real time," it is a mere 37 minutes shorter than the actual tragedy. Two years before the film's release, an American TV adaptation of A Night to Remember set a precedent as the most elaborate and technically complex "live" broadcast of its time. Some viewers will find this movie a more accurate and gripping representation of this sea disaster than the romance-heavy Titanic. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A movie to remember.by historianWI

October 04, 2009: This is the original Titanic movie that got all the awards in 1958 because it is a great story. It is not the newer in color love story. A Night to Remember is in black and white, making it feel more like you are in the old days. Much time was taken to make the details of the ship look right as they studied the original blueprints. A great story is most effective told the way it happened, without writers trying to make it more interesting. My favorite scene is toward the end as the orchestra plays the last song before the ship goes down: very moving. This is the most real Titanic movie and the only one that I have watched more than once.

January 26, 2004: This movie shows the terror of that awful night. It shows the heroismn of the first class men, the poor enimigrants locked down in steerage and more. The effects are real good! Just as the Titanic is sinking in the movie all the lights go out and it slowly plunges into the sea. The music is excellent too! By the years most people think old movie like this are boring. This one is not! I recommend any Titanic Fan should get this great movie!
