A Night to Remember
1958
Back Summary:
They called it "unsinkable" but five days out of port on its maiden voyage, the great luxury liner Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, taking 1,513 passengers to their tragic death. From the wealthy in first-class suites, to the poorest passengers down in cargo, a panorama of shipboard life unfolds through the eyes of Second Officer Lightoller (Kenneth More). When the unthinkable occurs, Lightoller contends first with the passengers disbelief, then desperation, and finally the horror of the inevitable. As the ship's band plays valiantly to the end, millionaires and paupers stand aside as lifeboats carrying the wives and children are put to sea and eventually rescued. You'll never forget this riveting true story of hope and despair, courage and cowardice, dignity and dishonor in the face of human tragedy in "A Night to Remember".
