When the “unsinkable” Titanic struck an iceberg, it sank in
less than three hours. By the early morning of April 15, 1912, it had
plunged to the bottom of the sea, taking with it more than 1,500 of its 2,200
passengers. In his unforgettable rendering of Walter Lord’s book of the
same name, the acclaimed British director Roy Ward Baker depicts with
sensitivity, awe, and a fine sense of tragedy the ship’s last hours. Featuring
remarkably restrained performances, A Night to Remember is
cinema’s subtlest and best dramatization of this monumental twentieth-century
catastrophe. Like many British produced historic dramas of the 1950's, this
powerful drama sports a fast pace and incredible amount of detail (Some Titanic
survivors were on-set advisors). The cast is filled with British cinema
legends Kenneth More, Honor Blackman and David McCallum.
Join film historian and Titanic expert Glenn Andreiev (who has a
personal link to the sinking) as he introduces a rare big screen showing of
this film masterwork. (UK, 1958, 123 min., b/w, DCP)
