A Night to Remember
Roy Ward Baker · 1958
A 1958 British drama reconstructing the sinking of the RMS Titanic with procedural fidelity, based on Walter Lord’s 1955 book and informed by survivor testimony. Directed by Roy Ward Baker and produced by William MacQuitty, it avoids sentimentality in favour of chronological precision, using authentic sets, restrained performances and Geoffrey Unsworth’s understated cinematography to trace the collapse of routine, hierarchy and certainty.
