On ApriI 14, 1912, just before midnight, the unsinkable Titanic struck an iceberg. In Iess than three hours,
it had plunged to the bottom of the sea, taking with it more than 1,500 of its 2,200 passengers. In his
unforgettabIe rendering of WaIter Lord's book of the same name, A Night to Remember, the acclaimed
British director Roy Ward Baker depicts with sensitivity, awe, and a fine sense
of tragedy the ship's final hours. Featuring remarkably restrained performances, A Night To Remember is
cinema's subtIest, finest dramatization of this monumental twentieth-century catastrophe. |
