A Night to Remember is a 1958 British disaster, drama film directed by Roy Ward Baker, and it was released on July 3, 1958. The film only stars Kenneth More.

Plot
On its maiden voyage in April 1912, the Titanic is presented in a highly realistic fashion in this tense British drama. The disaster is portrayed largely from the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More). Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith (Laurence Naismith) keeping it going at a steady clip. When the doomed vessel finally hits an iceberg, the crew and passengers discover that they lack enough lifeboats, and tragedy follows.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) While A Night to Remember may not be 100% faithful to the true event of the sinking and Walter Lord's novel, it stays the spirit of the sinking of the Titanic event and tributes to everyone who died on the Titanic, and it also stays faithful and it's novel from 1955.
 * 2) The movie stays true to the fact that the sinking was a tragic accident, just like the before James Cameron's movie Titanic.
 * 3) The acting is pretty solid, especially for the Titanic passengers as well.
 * 4) Amazing pacing in the Titanic sinking standards.
 * 5) The soundtrack was pretty well done that was performed by William Alwyn, Not only but the different version of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" was also pretty good as well.
 * 6) Excellent directing by Roy Ward Baker.
 * 7) The cinematography is well done.
 * 8) Amazing realistic effects, even in 1958 standards.
 * 9) Most of the characters in the movie are pretty likable, such as Thomas Andrews, the main protagonist of the crew of the RMS Titanic.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The Titanic at the near the end of the movie didn't split up, it's mostly because the Titanic wasn't even founded until 1985.

Critical response
The film receives critical acclaim. It holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it's by far the considered to be the best Titanic film before the 1997 film, Titanic.
