Excellent Film. Forget about it being Black and White! Just enjoy the film.
A Night to Remember recounts the tragic tale of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic on its maiden voyage after it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Based on Walter Lord’s bestselling book, the film follows various Titanic passengers and crew throughout the sinking, along with the rescue efforts (or lack thereof) of the Californian and Carpathia. This is simultaneously the film’s greatest strength and weakness; as it allows for an expansive overview of events, but also makes it difficult to get to know individual characters. The model work and special effects are pretty good (for the time), and give a real sense of scope to the tragedy. However, the score is rather bland and doesn’t have much emotional resonance to it. Still, while A Night to Remember has some weaknesses, it delivers a compelling depiction of one of the greatest maritime disasters in history.
The adaptation in the 1950s must have been impressive. Today it is not defending itself in a few places, but it's still not bad.
It was the best movie I've seen in a long time.love this classic movie
Like watching a prequel to Brexit.

Forget the fact that it's an old black and white film, and just watch it. Great film, especially if you like films about the Titanic.
