A Night to Remember (1958) Reviews

Most Titantic buffs consider this the definitive movie on the Titantic. I don't necessarily agree with that statement, but it is a good movie. It is a movie that is based on the actual facts so if you are looking for accuracy this is the movie for you. However, as a movie I thought they could have done more to introduce the characters to the viewers so that there would have been more of an emotional reaction when the ship began to sink. I also thought it was awkward how it went from showing the ship setting off on its voyage to showing them receiving ice warnings. Another reviewer mentions it didn't show the ship splitting in half. It wasn't known until the 80's that it split in two while it sank so this film was accurate for what was known at the time.

It was a very good movie that begins with the cutting of the ribbon from dry dock to let Titanic slide into the water. It makes it where people act just like the cameras aren't there. Nobody is introduced through the commentator or movie. You have to work your way through that but it is a good movie. The only thing is it didn't split in half it just sunk at about a 45 degree angle. But I didn't think it would have being filmed in the 50's. But even being black and white it is still a really good movie.

We felt this movie was very good for our family. Our children were familiar with the story of the Titanic, but in our opinion, too young (10 & 12) for the latest Titanic movie which had nudity and a lot more character development. This was the perfect blend of facts and storyline for the whole family which got the point across without being too emotionally difficult for our kids to handle.

This was a extremely well done film in every aspect..the reproductions were superb and the cast of literally thousands was something to behold..this was certainly the best attempt in portraying this night of horrors among other attempts and the lead actors sere excellent among them the noted Kenneth More...4 stars!
