British historical drama film adaptation of Walter Lord's 1955 book, which tells last night's RMS Titanic. Adapted by Eric Ambler and directed by Roy Ward Baker, the film stars Kenneth More and features Michael Goodliffe, Laurence Naismith, Kenneth Griffith, David McCallum and Tucker McGuire. It was filmed in the UK and tells the story of the sinking, depicting major incidents and players in documentary-style fashion with great attention to detail. [3] The production team, overseen by producer William MacQuitty (who saw the original ship started), used the ship's projects to create authentic collections, while the fourth officer, Joseph Boxhall, and ex-Cunard Commodore Harry Grattidge worked as technical consultants for the film. Its budget of £600,000 (£14,120,882 adjusted for inflation [2019]) was exceptional and made it the most expensive film ever made in the UK by then. [4] The world premiere was at Odeon Leicester Square on Thursday, 3 July 1958. Titanic survivor Elizabeth Dowdell attended the American premiere in New York on Tuesday, December 16, 1958 [5] The film was a relative disappointment at the box office. [1] However, she received critical acclaim and won the 1959 Samuel Goldwyn International Award for the UK Golden Globe Awards. [6] The film is still widely regarded as the final film story. [7] Among the many films about Titanic, A Night to Remember has long been considered a high point for Titanic historians and survivors alike for its accuracy, despite its modest production values compared to the Oscar-winning film Titanic (1997). [8] [9] [8] 1912 The plot is the largest ship, which is widespread. Passengers on board their maiden voyage are the cream of American and British society. Boarding is a first class passenger for Sir Richard and Lady Richard, second class passenger p. Clarke and Ms. Clarke, a young newly wed couple, both drive passengers to Mr. Murphy, Mr. Gallagher and Mr. James Farrel. Second Officer Charles Lightoller is also preparing for the trip. 10 April Titanic sailed into the sea. On April 14, the ship receives several ice warnings from other steamers at sea. Only a few messages are forwarded to Captain Edward J. Smith, who orders a glimpse, but slow down the ship or consider changing course. Late that night, the SS California spots float in the distance of ice, and try to send a message to the Titanic. On the Titanic, the rudder passengers enjoy their time at the third-class party, where Murphy becomes attracted to a young Polish girl, and dances with her. The boiler room of the ship, the ship's builder Tom Andrews, completes the inspection. In the wireless room, wireless operators Jack Phillips and Harold Sydney Bride exchange shifts. Phillips gets an ice warning, but when more messages arrive to send him, he is lost beneath them. In California, outdoor ice is noticeable, and the ship stops because it's too dangerous to continue, and titanic is sent a message. Because California is so close, the message is very loud, and Phillips interrupts the message. Titanic passengers begin to settle down for the night, and some, including Mr. Hoyle and Jay Yates stay up to gamble. Meanwhile, Lookout Frederick Fleet suddenly spots an iceberg straight on the Titanic road and warns the bridge. First Officer Murdoch then tries to slow down and steer around the iceberg, but they are too close and the ship collides with an iceberg. Captain Smith sends Tom Andrew, who's going to inspect the damage. Andrews determines that the ship will sink within two hours, and it does not have enough rescue capacity for anyone on board. A distress signal is sent, and efforts begin to signal california, visible on the horizon 10 miles away, but its radio operator is off duty and does not hear a distress signal. Fortunately, radio operator RMS Carpathia receives a distress call and alerts Captain Arthur Rostron, who orders the ship to head to the site. Unfortunately, the ship is 95 km away, and it will take about four hours to reach the Titanic. While California stays where it is, the crew fails to understand why the big ship they sight is firing rockets. Captain Smith orders officers Lightoller and William Murdoch to begin reducing lifeboats. On Lightoller's side, men are not allowed on board, but Murdoch, working on the other side of the ship, is much softer, letting men on board lifeboats. Chief Baker Charles Joughin, after throwing his space on a lifeboat, turns into a bottle to ease his ailments. Grand Staircase, Robbie Lucas goes to Mr. Andrews asks if the ship is seriously damaged. Andrew told him to get on the boats. Luke rouses his children and wife to go on lifeboats. He gets them on a safety boat, and turns away, realizing he will never see his family again. Murphy, Gallagher, and Farrel help the Polish girl, and her mother find their way through the ship, and get them on a lifeboat. Richards and Hoyle are taken on a boat by Murdoch. Yates gives the passenger send it to your sister. Several women refuse to leave their husbands, inadvertently setting an example for Mrs Clarke, who decides to stay with her husband for the first time until Andrews advises them on how to avoid the sinking ship. As supervisors try to apprehend women and children in third grade, most of those from first and second class on board lifeboats and start off the ship. The ship quickly fills with water, and passengers begin to perceive the danger, as the ship more and more. When third-class passengers are allowed from below, chaos ensues. White Star Line Chairman, J. Bruce Ismay steps into one of the last rescue boats to save himself. Titanic bow submarines, and only two disassembled lifeboats remained. Lightoller and other able sailors are struggling to free them when the ship begins its final plunge. Captain Smith gives an order to abandon the ship, and every man for himself, before returning to the bridge to go with the ship, and the orchestra performs horbury's rendition of the anthem, Closer To My God to You. Tom Andrew is waiting for his fate in the first-class smoking room. Lightoller and many others swept away from the ship. Passengers jump into the sea as the stern rises high into the air. The Clarkes, struggling in the water, died in the fall funnel. Stricken linear quickly sinks into the icy sea. Many passengers, including Lucas, and Farrel, die from hypothermia. One of the disassembled is floating aside, so Lightoller and a few more men balance it out and wait. Yates, banned from entering the upturned boat, flies away to drown himself. Murphy and Gallagher make it disassembled and are taken aboard. Joughin has on his side and doesn't care the cold because he was drinking, and was eventually taken on board. Lightoller spots another boat, and the men are protected. The carpath arrives and rescues survivors. In carpathia, after the group's prayer, Rostron told Lightoller the number saved and lost. A total of 1500 people were lost; 705 survived.
