Watch: A Night to Remember 1958 123movies, Full Movie Online – A successful attempt at an even-handed portrayal of the White Star Line’s (later part of Cunard) luxury liner R.M.S. Titanic’s sinking from the standpoint of Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller, himself the most senior of the ill-fated ship’s Deck Officers to survive the disaster (Lightoller later went on to distinguish himself as a line British Naval Officer during the First World War and served as a Senior Naval Staff Officer on convoys during WWII. Between wars, he owned and operated a successful family business producing pleasure craft). His own survival of the sinking, along with several others, is shown atop one of the liner’s two “collapsible” lifeboats which was capsized in floating off the liner as it sank. The picture depicts then known facts (c1958) as reported after the sinking–such as the woeful lack of adequate lifeboats, the ship’s band playing true to the very end, White Star’s co-owner Bruce Ismay’s somewhat less-than-chivalrous departure from the sinking vessel -and- the Titanic’s designer (Andrews, on-board) revelation that due to the severity of below-the-water-line damage and that the vaunted watertight compartments were not designed to nor sealed up to the weather deck, would only delay the inevitable as sea water spilled over the top of one to the next from the bows to the stern. It also addresses the mysterious ship seen from the Titanic’s bridge stopped some 12-19 miles off and depicts it as being the S.S. Californian, whom – if that steamship had responded, the loss of life could have been far, far less. The Californian is seen stopped due to the ice warnings, the same alerts whose import were undervalued by the Titanic’s Captain Smith. She herself had shut-down wireless operations, nominally at 11:00pm as her sole operator retired for the evening, this before the iceberg was struck and the first distress calls were made by Titanic. It also addresses somewhat the coal fire in one of Titanic’s bunkers – apparently not uncommon back in those days, before her departure into the Atlantic and potential for damage to steel plates below the water line (This picture predates the calling-into-question of the quality of rivets [metalurgy] which has since come to the fore). The film also shows the class distinction and its impact as to whom – of the “women and children first”, got a seat in a boat; the fact that the first/earliest lifeboats launched were not at full capacity; and that the boats launched from the port and starboard side held to different criteria as to loading. The latter allows the viewer an inference as to the importance for crew and passenger alike as to lifeboat drills which were then (1912) neither required nor ever held aboard Titanic. One of several movies on the subject, it stands well the test-of-time for its “just the facts” approach in the telling and avoidance of conjecture or added melodrama..
Plot: The sinking of 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. Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith 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.

A definite Night to Remember…
For the first time today, a shameful admission in itself, I saw this movie and I was so impressed, it could very well be my favourite film version of the disaster. I do think it is better than James Cameron’s Titanic, which I actually liked, but this film is much more compelling and moving. Something I did prefer here than in the Cameron version was the music score, the score here is superb, whereas the music in the 1997 film is a score I am still not sure whether I love or hate.

I also loved how A Night To Remember was filmed. The ship is lovingly rendered, and the cinematography and costumes are lavish. In terms of scenes there are many effective scenes, but the sinking scenes here were brilliantly done, it had a sort of edge-of-your-seat feel to it. The story is very documentary-like in its approach, and this was a great idea I think as it allowed us to see the disaster at more than one character angle. Not once did the film get melodramatic, but there were some very moving parts such as the events leading up the ending. The direction is great, the pacing is brisk and the cast headed by a very impressive Kenneth More acts their roles impeccably.

Overall, a wonderful movie, the conclusion is a little too wordy, but other than that A Night To Remember is a must-watch! 9/10 Bethany Cox.
