On ApriI 14, 1912, just before midnight, the unsinkabIe Titanic struck an iceberg. ln less than three hours,
it had pIunged to the bottom of the sea, taking with it more than 1,500 of its 2,200 passengers. ln his
unforgettabIe rendering of Walter Lord's book of the same name, A Night to Remember, the accIaimed
British director Roy Ward Baker depicts with sensitivity, awe, and a fine sense
of tragedy the ship's finaI hours. Featuring remarkabIy restrained performances, A Night To Remember is
cinema's subtlest, finest dramatization of this monumentaI twentieth-century catastrophe. |
